Wlita the day breaks o'er the hill.

Shall form a link 'iwixl heaven and Uice.

Give each nnn a brother's hand,
And let each mourning spirit see
The listing claim it has on thee.
Grant help where'er it may avail;
Sympathy, if help should tail-,

To the wa'Oring strength impart.
Then, my heart, thy Miss shall be
Like a stream, that full and free.
Ere in ocean home appears
