Turn ye not from these away To that sacred cherished spot, Where the spirit with its clay Wrestled, struggled, and was not ! Dies not in the breast the heart, With the deep unlanguaged grief, That earth's broken ties impart, All too bitter for relief? Feel ye not a void behind All your seeming joyousness ? A broken spirit none can bind — Humbly then your Father bless. Kneel upon the marble there, Ere your feet have further trod ; And in fervent grateful prayer, Long and lowly thank your God !

What hand had thus presumed to take From out that temple fair, Its precious, blest divinity, Of worship rare ? No tempest swept the plain, No earthquake rent the sward, Stern wrestling with the secret strength, The mighty mountains hoard ; Bringing that idol from its throne, So deep adored ! No midnight robber turned , That sacred temple's key, Or dared its hallowed altar fire — Flaming eternally — To take with sacrilegious hand Its god away !
