LOVE.
5
Lift thine eyes, Oh! Christian reaper,Thou by faith shalt see the light, That on Patmos' isle descended,When cried the angel, Write, Thou shalt see the wall of jasper,And the shining gates of pearl, Thou shalt taste thy life's fruition,Free from earthly care and toil.
LOVE.
Love is the essence of all mortal life, It lives in every passing breeze;That wafted o'er broad ocean, bears, Love's kiss to lover o'er the seas.The violet nodding in the meadow grass, Ts kissed by sunshine warm and bright,The lily's opening cup unfolds, To woo the dew-drops of the night.
