Yet, wanderer, this my heaven of light divine,

Come when thou wilt, is open hence to thee!”

IN YONDER LAKE OF SILVER SHEEN.

In yonder lake of silver sheen,

A heaven of glory shines;

There sunset’s glancing beams are seen—

There the pale moon reclines.

Thus should the soul—a waveless sea,

From which earth’s cares are driven,

From passion’s ruffling tempest free—
