l'Oli:Kll 01' RXLIOION.

The love that lived through all the etormy past,

And mee\:ly with my hanher nature bore,

And deeper grew, and tenderer to the Jut,

Shall it expire with life, and be no more 1

A happier lot than mine, and largtr light

A wait thee there ; for thou !uult bow'd thy will

In cheerful homage to the rule of right,

And loveat all, and renderest good for ill.

Yet though thou wear' at the glory of the sky,

Wilt thou not keep the same belovM name,

The aame fair thoughtful brow, and gentle eye,

Lovelier in hea\'en's sweet cli~n&te, yet the aame t

ShAlt thou not teach me, in thAt calmer home,

The wisdom th.at.Ilea.rn'd so ill in thia-

Tbe wisdom which is love-till I become

Thy 1it oompanion in that land of bliBB 1

Ou I lone is the apirit on lite's troubled ocean,
With tempesta around it and torrenta below,
Till calm o'er the breast the pure tho~hta of devotion,
Like airs from the gardens of ParadUle blow.

'Tis sweet, as we glide o'er tne cold wa vee of sorrow,
To think of the loved who have ,.aniah'd before;
We know they are blest; we shall meet them to-morrow a
We pass o'er tbe deep, a.nd they call from the shore.

They haate in their joy o'er the waters to meet us,
The love-lighted wa.vee of the ocean of reet;
And sweet are thE<ir aongs aa they tenderly greet ua 1 -
They bring ua kind words from the Land of the bleat.

They atill the wild billows of trouble around us,

The Eden of Love they unveil to the eight;

And peace with ita garland of lilies hath crown'd ua,

And Mercy hath robed us with ve&turea of light.
