The festering sores of wounded pride can'st heal, Or can'st the homeless, joyless beggar wrap In peace, as calm as e'en a baby-dream : All pangs, save conscience, do succumb to thee — Her whisper's echoed through a crushed world's din. And racks the guilty wretch, though couched on down! Sweet handmaiden of Mercy, art thou Sleep ! Then Pity hovers o'er the dreaming wretch. Winning liis sorrows through a smile away. 43 Even from tortures's ruthless grasp. Smile on Thou hapless dreamer, — smile, ...'tb hut a dream — A vain, intangible, most empty, dream, — The morn shall lash thee to tlie rack again. But, as I said, came sleep, with silken chain, And led me to her couch : I dreamed, — my dream Came seraph-borne ; methought I was in heaven, And wing to wing with thee, loved ]\Iary, placed ; We hymned our praises to Almighty God. And there was great, and deep rejoicing there : — A soul had winged its way from the frail earth. Up to the bosom of its God. It came To heaven's bright threshold, when a shout From the angelic host proclaimed it come ; Jleek, trembling, in all lowliness it came.
