 As changeless as the Cedar tree.

SENTIMENT. 



Look to the east, when the morning is bright, 

 When the purple is blending with rays of rose-light: 

 My spirit shall then hold communion with thee, 

 And thy blush, bright as morning, must whisper of me. 



And look to the west, when pavilioned afar, 

 Sweet love sends her smile from her own favored star; 

 And think of our friendship, as pure as star-shine, 

 My spirit shall then hold communion with thine. 



And at midnight's deep hour, when the moon is on 



high, 



Should the angel of sleep leave unsealed thy soft eye 

 Look forth! the calm radiance is hallowed by love, 

 And then prayers from true hearts may mingle above 



Mrt. Halt.
