So long I've slept BUT the soul's awak'ning true hath come at last, And into my burdened heart there silently crept Complete forgiveness of the painful past. Sweet resignation calms my weary mind, And all the clouds that blighted many days Are rent asunder, drifting far away. On pinions light my restless spirit soars Beyond the distant sky, and find its home In Heav'ns pure dome, where joy and peace abide.
