Ing the lamp the following beautiful
verses:
How shall l bless thc2 Human love

The heart aches with n sense above

Therefore a symbol shall express
My love,-a thing not rarc or strange,

Knowing no shadow and No change.
Light! which, of all the lovely shows
To our poor world OF shadows given,
The fervent Prophet voices chose
Alone as attribute of heaven!
At d most solemn pause we stand,
From this day forth for evermorc,
The weak but loving human hand
Must cease to guide thee us OF yorc.
Then, as thro' life thy footsteps stray.
And earthly bencons dimly shine,
LET there he light" upon thy way,
And holicr guidance far than mine!
"Let there be light" In thy clear soul,
When passion tempts and doubts nssail;
When grlefs dark tempests DER thee roll,
"Lct there be light" that shall not fall!
The narrow path which few may hnd,
And Mt the end look back, nor dread
To count the vanished years behind!
And pray thnt she, whose hand doth trace

May sec and know thy blessed face,
