Will in much future good appear?
Then as thy faith so shall it be;
In coming days thine eyes shall see.
The poem To the Alien, is addressed to his wife, Sarah, who, early in the year 1884, through the influence of a spiritual deceiver, as already stated, left her husband.
TO THE ALIEN
Three years have fled since billows wild
Wrecked our domestic bark,
And chilled your love for husband, child,
Mid waters cold and dark.
