LIV. THE EVENING STAR.
A Gem upon the diadem of Night,
Yon peerless Planet beams athwart the West.
Is that thy dwelling—that thy place of rest
My Mother? dost thou bathe in the pure light
Yon peerless Planet beams athwart the West.
Is that thy dwelling—that thy place of rest
My Mother? dost thou bathe in the pure light
By mortals unapproached, or with the bright
And duteous Seraph hymnest thou? Oh blest
In the companionship of Saints—the guest
Of Heaven's Great King, triumphant in the might
And duteous Seraph hymnest thou? Oh blest
In the companionship of Saints—the guest
Of Heaven's Great King, triumphant in the might
Of thy Redeemer! haply dost thou e'er
Bend on this world of ours thy meek blue eye
E'en as of yore 'twould gaze in ecstasy
Bend on this world of ours thy meek blue eye
E'en as of yore 'twould gaze in ecstasy
On yonder orb intent? what strife and care
And sin doth meet thy vision! earthward then
Look not, my Mother—hie thee home agen.
And sin doth meet thy vision! earthward then
Look not, my Mother—hie thee home agen.
1830. C. L.
