In religion, What damned error, but some sober brow Will bless it. and approve it with a text, Hiding the grossness with fair ornament ?

Page 79 - ... life, life cannot see, Darts onward to eternity! While vacant hours of beauty roll Their magic o'er some yielded soul, Ah ! little do the happy guess, The sum of human wretchedness ; Or dream, amid the soft farewell That Time of them is taking, How frequent moans the funeral knell, What noble hearts are breaking, While myriads to their tombs descend, Without a mourner, creed, or friend!

When prayer, the purest incense of a soul, Hath risen to the throne of heaven, the heart Is mellow'd, and the shadows that becloud Our state of darken'd being, glide away ; The Heavens are open'd ! and the eye of Faith Looks in, and hath a fearful glimpse of God ! HAPPINESS OF HUMBLE LIFE.
