The acorn for ever ana ever

The rainbow the sky adjoining,
Shines promise through the STORM
The glimner OF coming morning
Through midnight gloom Will FORM

Though the heart and the head be weary

Though earnest and fancy Hteady
Rear best unto the close.

But with evening comes the Agnt;
Through the dark low winds complaining,
Yet the sunrise gids the height
Aud love has hidden his treasure
For the patient and the pure;
And time gives his fullest measure

And the word that no love has shaken
Has the future pledge supplied
