FILIAL GRATITUDE AND AFFECTION,

THE AUTHOR.
- From darkness here, and dreariness
- We ask not full repose;
- Only be Thou at hand to bless
- Our trial hour of woes.
- Is not the pilgrim's toil o'erpaid
- By the clear rill and palmy shade?
- And see we not, up earth's dark glade,
- The gate of heaven unclose?
KEBLE.
