Uncertain Light.
Darkness is combatting aboA'e him on high , Moving like armies the clouds float aAvay , Rolling thunder , foaming streams , Starless night , naught the foot can stay .
At last , behold , from far it gleams—it g leams ! _ Is it a Will-o ' -the-Wisp ? A star can it be ? See where that glimmer shines in its friendship , HOAV it allures , IIOAV it beckons to me .
Swiftly the Avanderer speeds through the night , To that far light ivhich attracts him mightily , Tell me , can it be fire , or Aurora ' s red ? Is it Love 1 or Death can it be ?
A Look Towards Heaven.
A LOOK TOWARDS HEAVEN .
Take in thy hand thy staff , ( Thou wanderer o ' er life ' s Avave , ) Thy road half rough , half smooth , Leads thee surely to the grave . Thy way is soon passed o ' er ,
In this mortality , Then thou stand ' st in the midst Of the grey eternity . One clay flits with another , And thou must lvander through , Where runs the path , my brother , Of that future far from you .
A vaunt phantom ! that my soul Into that deep abyss would haste , By a shore-less sea those waters roll , Ancl all is lonely and waste . Still all o ' er Hood ancl waves to-day
With brightness the sun is streaking , Love comes which had flown away , The sn'eet clear voice is speaking .
Still must thou be looking above , Oh , stricken Avoimded heart , For some changes to the rapture of love Thy deepest , bitterest smart . Thou can ' st cling gladly to Hope unshaken , However hi gh the flood may be , How can ' st thou be forsaken , While Love remains to thee ?
