LXVIII.

O blessed power of Love! that still can keep

A quiet haven for the weary soul,

When o'er the sea of life grief-tempests sweep,

And surging billows o'er contentment roll;

And thither though Affliction's cloud be deep

The heart steers true beneath its sweet controul!

To him, the loved, the lost, thus basely spurned,

She fled a prisoner from Death's chains return'd.
