Daughter of Heaven! if here, e’en here,

The wing of towering thought was thine;

If, on this dim and mundane sphere,

Fair truth illumed thy bright career,

With morning-star divine;

How must thy bless’d ethereal soul

Now kindle in her noontide ray,

And hail, unfetter’d by control,

The Fount of Day!

E’en now, perhaps, thy seraph eyes,
