  I gazed at the sky half dreaming, Through the whispering trees, I lay enrapt in its beauty, While hope sighed through the leaves, A sense of sublime awakening Stole o’er my slumb’ring soul, I awoke in this universe, Where, oh where was the goal? Then the world seemed slowly fading The godlike seemed to shine My heart throbbed under the vision The infinite divine. I awoke to face life’s battles Those mem’ries floating o’er As a safeguard in temptation A safeguard evermore. |
