He peaceful sleeps within his silent home.

We see him not; and yet perchance he hears

In dreams our echoing voices as we pass

Athwart his shuttered windows—hears us bless

The light he lighted, gleaming through the night

A welcome to the lost and weary; wakes perchance

To murmur, "All is well," then sleeps again.

So may he sleep in peace until the Sun

From which his flame was borrowed wakes the East

To crimson glory, and his glimmering lights
