Full Text	(52) Not to the cedar shade Let his vain flight be made ; Nor the old mountains, nor the desert sea; What, but the cross, can yield The hope—the stay—the shield ? Thence may the Atoner lift him up to Thee! Be thou, be thou his aid! Oh ! let thy soul pervade The haunted caves of self-accusing thought! There let the living stone Be cleft—the seed be s o w n— The song of fountains from the silence brought! So shall thy breath once more Within the soul restore Thine own first image—Holiest and most High! As a clear lake is fill'd With hues of Heaven, instill'd D o w n to the depths of its calm purity. And if, amidst the throng Link'd by the ascending song, [soar ; There are, whose thoughts in trembling rapture Thanks, Father ! that the power Of joy, man's early dower, Thus, e'en midst tears, can fervently adore! Thanks for each gift divine ! Eternal praise be thine, Blessing and love, O Thou that hearest prayer! Let the h y m n pierce the sky, And let the tombs reply ! For seed, that waits the harvest-time is there
