It shines upon their ice-built homes,
With soft and beamy glow;
And led by it the traveller roams
O'er boundless plains of snow.
With soft and beamy glow;
And led by it the traveller roams
O'er boundless plains of snow.
How like is that rejoicing light
To Hope's bright, cheerful ray,—
Which onward points, and turns the night
Of deepest gloom to day!
To Hope's bright, cheerful ray,—
Which onward points, and turns the night
Of deepest gloom to day!
