TRUTH.

It is not in the heart of thought,

Nor in the breast of care;

That truth its dwelling-place has sought,

For all is sterile there:

Nor is it in the mind, where gay

Delusive visions throng,

That chastening truth can find a way

Its glittering dreams among:

Yet as within the desert far,

There are reflections given

Of light, so in the heart there are

Remembrances of Heaven.
