A star pecped out, mid the heavens blus,
And looked on the sea, itself to view;
But the restless wave and foamiug tide,
The lovely form of the star belied.
I gazed on both, and my spirit grieved,
And mumured low, the truth it received.
Saviour, It's thus thou l9okcst on me,
Thou ant the star, my heart the sea.
Thou gazest down, pure, lovely, bright,
For darkencd souls to reflect thy light;
But oh! what trace Of thee can be seen,
In this restless, surging, frctted stream,
'fs true that passer-by might know,
From cleaning fragments tossed too an d fro,
That Ii ght of some kind was shining Ger
The sn-crsstcd wave; but nothing more.
| SEQ in dream n struggling bark,
Shaken and driven o'er waters dark
by a tempest fierce; at the thought of death,
The stand trembling with failing breath.
Yet mid the roar Of the wild winds sweep,
The Ia hing din Of the raging deep;
Mid the quick rolling the bark must keep,
Lives enc in calm aul peaceful sleep.
But lie, whom the tempest could not wake.
