1e.zed down Hfe's dim labyrinth,
4 vildering maze to see,
Crossed DER by many tangled clew,
And wild as wild could be;
And as gazed in doubt and dread,
An angel came to me.
1knew him for a heavenly guide,
knew him even then,
Though meekly as child he stood
Among the sons Of men
Nv bis deep spirtrloveliness,
knew him even then.
And as leaned my weary head
Upon his profered breast,
And scanned the peril haunted wild,
From out my place of rest,
Wondered If the shining ones
O,Eden were more blest.
For there was light within my soul,
Light on my peaceful way.
And all around the blue above
The clustering starlight lay;
And easterly saw upreared
The pearly gates of day.

Ny angel love and Il;
His lifted wing all quivering
With tokens from the sky;
etrange my dull thoughts could not div!nc
Twas lifted but to fly!
Again down life's din labyrinth
Igrope my way alone,
while wildly through the midnight sky,
Black, hurrying clouds are blown,
And thickly, in my tangled path,
The sharp, bare thorns are sown.
Yet firm my foot, for well know
The goal cannot be far;
And ever, through the rifted clouds,
Shines out one steady star,
Eor when my guide went up he left
The pearly gates ajar
