THE TWO MONUMENTS.
189


To Heaven and to the peasant's hearth,
    A blessed household sound—
And finding lowly love on earth,
    Enough, enough, he found!

Bright and more bright before me gleam'd
    That sainted image still;
Till one sweet moonlight memory seem'd
    The regal fane to fill.

Oh! how my silent spirit turn'd
    From those proud trophies nigh;
How my full heart within me burn'd
    Like Him to live and die!
