To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Should this be, O Father ! aid me In the truths I would impress ; When I crave Divine Assistance, Deign to hearken and to bless.
ONE YEAR OLD.
Sooner than these feet should wander Wayward, erring, from the Right, Or these hands in acts of kindness Never learn to take delight ; Sooner than these lips should utter Slander base or black untruth, _ And this spotless soul be sullied In the golden hour of youth ; Sooner, though the pang it cost me Might be more than I could bear, Would I see the deat...h-dew gather Now upon her forehead fair ; Sooner, when the spring-time cometh, Part the grass above the mold, Reading on the tablet o'er her: "Little Addie, one year old. " 12* 137 OH, WHAT SHALL BE MY SONG TO-NIGHT?
OH, what shall be my song to-night ?
The earth, the sea, or sky, The star-gems, with their trembling light, Or night-bird's plaintive cry? Not such can fill the lonely heart With thoughts of bliss divine ; Not such a holy thrill impart To spirit warm as thine.
The dawning of a lovely form Upon the raptured eye ; The hand's soft touch, so true and warm, The red lip's answering sigh ; The gentle voice for which we yearn In crowds or lonely dell, The beaming eye to which we turn Enthralled by beauty's spell, These be the burden of my song, While dreams of heaven are thine, 138 OH, WHAT SHALL BE MY SONG TO-NIGHT?
