[RESEMBLANCES.]

Like the stars that show their grouping
When the Dusk subdues the Day,
Are the Truths that shine together
When Thought has quiet sway.
Like the sunshine on the waters,
Like the light within the dew,
To our Heart and to our Hoping
Is an old truth utter'd new.
Like the rich and heavy bunches,
Like the bright and strengthening wine,
Are the weighty words of Wisdom,
And the Poet's loving line.
2

And the Powers that play in Fancy
Can a holy earnest show,
As the colours of the Bubble
Shine serenely in the Bow.
