In every breast there Is q well Of feeling,
Whose depths are moved at an appointed time,
Disclosing precious Jewels, and revealing
Love, Hope, and Faith, or Energy sublime.
The heart Of every sinful man confaineth
A halowed spot, as pure as childhood's dream
Which, 'mid the poison round IL, still retaneth
Some crystal drop from Truths eternal stream.
The tear OF penlt-nce, the sigh Of sorrow,
The agony OF soul for life misspent,
The promise Of Improvement for the morrow,
Are all to heaven, ON Aercy's pin!ons sent
The hear beneath smiling mask may smother
Its anguish. though by tiercest trials torn;
Then Jul not har sh!y OF thy erring brother--
God only knows the sorrows he has borne.
