And brighter still shall be the scene, When no dark glass shall intervene, Nor wilful thought, nor thought unclean, My ravished soul and God between ; 100 RELIGIOUS MEDITATIONS. But when beyond earth's weary race I shall repose in his embrace, And, gazing on him face to face, Forever praise Redeeming Grace. MIDWINTER DAY. 101 MIDWINTER DAY. Hope to desponding man comes near With truth from lore proverbial drawn, And whispers in his grateful ear, — In words of comfort, tones of cheer, — "The dar...kest hour precedes the dawn." And so, when tempests rule the year, The wild midwinter day I prize ; It speaks of .vernal changes near, Of quickening life o'er Nature's bier, Of longer days and sunnier skies. I hail the day ! The fiercest blast And wildest surges may prevail ; But we discern the shore at last, We know the deepest depth is past, And Hope is singing in the gale. 102 RELIGIOUS MEDITATIONS. With voice and heart I hail the day ! Tis like prophetic storm-born bow That shines athwart our deluged way Amid persistent lightnings' play And lingering thunders muttering low ; And speaks of storms that pass away, Of thriving Nature's teeming wealth, Of torrents stretching to the sea, Of life that springs from out decay, And winds that bear us joy and health.
