4 stately palace rears its tower-capped height
Upon thy hills, the temple and the shrine
OF truth, shedd ng like beacon light
Its welcome ray across the brine
To outward speeding ships that brave
Midmost oceans storm-beat wave.
Or homeward struggling banks that Green
To haven from the warning deep
Beneath thy roof trees shelterfnr span
Science, deep IN natures various plan,
From 1ifeless dust to living man.
Houses all her lore; and Art with eyes
wIthin whose depths all beauty mirrored lies
As in calm waters summer skies:
Kindles at thy hearth her living fame:
With thee dwells the gentle dame
Whose smile upon the exile wandering path
Like light-soothed time-worn Dante's bitter wrath
DIVINE philosophy that strikes the trembling strings
To the deep note that vibraes from the su Of thips
And one of still diviner mould
Sheds her deep radiance thy fold.
f heavenly lineage sprung, her glance
Lifts the soul in rapturous trance
To the Vision central of the worlds desira
Where blinded by the fierce excess
OF the light of blessedness
Stars areQuenched and blazing suns expire
