POETRY.
The HindOO Savior.
BY JOHN STUART BLAcKIE.

All-pervading, all-informing
Heart of heat within the cold,
Widely working, richly warming,
Vishnu loves to melt and mold.
Wouldst thou grasp him? that is hard,
With three giant PAGES
Who hath strobe the blue eirth, barred
To worms in mortal cases.
Wouldst thou know him? that is hard:
He holds no certain shape;
Soldiers, prophet, priest or bard,
Fish, or boar, or ape,
All and each are Vishnu's face,
But the wise behind
Each rude mask discern the traces
Of the sapior-mind.
They shall know him who believe
That through his incarnation
Faithful hands and hearts achieve
The worlds regeneration.
With an iron-pointed will,
A steady glowing fervOr,
Vanquished, they are victoIs still
Through Vishnu the preserver.
