ONE gaze at that calm, radiant face,
Hath made me feel the deep disgrace
Of weakness;
And earthly errors have been crowned
With Heavenly exaltation found
In meekness.
Tho' pain had power, and mental woe,
To bow the soul; an after-glow
Of sweetness,
With spiritual inspiration, lends
Perceptive grace which comprehends
Completeness;
For Science's purifying flame hath sent
The light of Heaven's glory and content,—
TRUTH'S greatness!
