Rehfnd the Veil.

The secret of mans life disclosed
Nould cause him strange confusion,
Should God the cloud OF tear remove,
or veil Of sweet illusion.
No maiden sees Alright the faults
Or merits of her lover;
No sick man suesses il 'twere best
To die, or 10 recover.
The miser dreams not that his wealth
Is dead, as soon as buried;
Nor knows the bard who sings away
Lies treasures, real and varied
The tree-root lies too deep for sight,
The wellsource for our plummet;
And heavenward fount and palm defy
Our scanning of their summit.
Whether present grief We weep,
Or yet untasted blisses,
Look tor the balm that comes with tears,
The banc that turks III hlsses.
We may reap dear delight from wrongs,
Regret from things most pleasant
Foes may confess us when we're gone,
And friends deny us present.
And that high suffering which we dread,
A higher JOY discloses:
Men sdtp the ttorns on Jesus' 6rozo,
-And Angels, sac the roses
