The Prayer Of a Heart.
BY WILLIAM WISTER.

RI WILLIAM WINTER.
Father, to thy supernai view,
How small single life mnst be
Yet have dared to think IL true
Ny soul hsth something born OF thee.
lwould not think this lie in vain,
Nor useless any single hour;
But. in my pleasure and pain,
See tokens Of thy eease.ess power
II.
Amid the solemn woods / muse,
Lit by the starlight pure and pale;
The pleasant dropping Of The dews
And the sweet south winds whispering wall
Stirring the Leaves make music there,
Soft as q love lorn n,aiden's sigh,
And nights rich radiance everywhere
Tells me, o God, that thou art nigh.
III.
wander on the vacan, shore
When twilight 6cepens far 1t sea,
While mady now the wild waves rear
And toss Their white foam heavily.
The sea breeze lights my clustering hair
And kindly ceolS my feyered brow.
The while breathe an humble prayer,
OFaiher, IS breathe it now.
".
Protect me, for my soul is weak.
Protect me in this world Of sin.
Leave not my lonely heart to break,
Through care without and grief within.
Temptations strong beset my way,
And passion points my wild career
Be with me in my prosperous day,
And in the midnight Of my fear!
