THE RIVER.

Previous

Out from the shady woodland,
With song and laughter free;
Down from the sunny hillside,
And over the flow’ry lea,
Floweth the restless river,
On its journey to the sea.
Over the silvery pebbles,
Sparkling like morning dew,
Whether in light or darkness,
Doth ever its course pursue,
Till it gains the mighty ocean
With waters vast and blue.
And thus are WE traveling onward,—
’Tis Hope by which we’re borne,
And our hearts beat with triumphant gladness,
As we dream of some brighter dawn
With sights that are nobler and grander,
And we journey on and on.
And up from the earth’s dark bosom,
Like the homeward flight of a dove,
On Hope’s majestic pinions
We soar to the realms above,
To lave forever and ever,
In the sea of Eternal Love.
