THE WORLD TO COME.

If all our hopss,i ,iand all our fears,
Were prlsonod in lifo's narrow bon nd
IL travellers through this valo of tears,
We saw no better world beyond
On what could check the rising sigh
What earthly thing could pleasure give
Oh J whowould venture then, to die
Or who would venture thcn-to live
Were life dark and desert moor.
Where mists and clouds eternal spread
Their gloomy veil behind, before,
And tempests thunder overhead
Where not sunbeam breaks the gloom.
And not fiowerct smilcs beneath,
VINO would exist in suCh-in such tomb
Who dwell in darkness and in death
Ana such were life without the ray
or our divine religion given1
'Iis this that makes our darkness day,
'1'is this that makes our earth a heaven
Bright is the golden sun above,
And beautiful The flowers that bloom,
And all is joy, and all is love,
Reflected from the world to come
