By the Fireside.
But a fair maiden, in her Father's mansion, Clothed with celestial grace;And beautiful with all the soul's expansion Shall we behold her face.
And though at times impetuous with emotion And anguish long suppressed,The swelling heart heaves moaning like the ocean, That cannot be at rest,—
We will be patient, and assuage the feeling We may not wholly stay;By silence sanctifying, not concealing, The grief that must have way.
