LOOKING EASTWARD.
395


"Fading, with the Night, the memory of a dead love, and the withered leaves of a blighted hope, and the sickly repinings and moody regrets that numb the best energies of the soul: and rising, broadening, rolling upward like a living flood, the manly resolve, and the dauntless will, and the heavenward gaze of faith——the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen!

"Look Eastward! Aye, look Eastward!"

THE END.
