See, with how deep a crimson eve hath touch’d

And glorified the ruin!—glow-worm light

Will twinkle on the dewdrops, ere we reach

Our home again. Come! with thy last sweet prayer

At thy bless’d mother’s knee, to-night shall thanks

Unto our Father in his heaven arise,

For all the gladness, all the beauty shed

O’er one rich day of flowers.

HYMN OF THE TRAVELLER’S HOUSEHOLD ON HIS RETURN,

IN THE OLDEN TIME.
