SENTIMENT. 



The wildest ills that darken life, 



Are rapture to the bosom's strife; 



The tempest, in its blackest form, 



Is beauty to the bosom's storm; 



The ocean, lashed to fury loud, 



Its high wave mingling with the cloud, 



Is peaceful, sweet serenity, 



To anger's dark and stormy sea.
