YOUR DEVOUT ADORER. 



The Sun-flower turns to her god, when he sets, 

 The same look which she turned when he rose.

SENTIMENT. 



As turns 



The flower to meet the sun, 

 E'en though, when clouds and storms arise, 

 It be not shone upon, 

 Thus, dear one, in thine eyes I see 

 The only light that beams for me. 



As thinks 



The mariner of home, 



When doomed through many a dreary waste 

 Of waters yet to roam, 

 Thus doth my spirit turn to thee, 

 My guiding star o'er life's wild sea. 



As bends 



The Persian at the shrine 

 Of his resplendent god, to watch 

 His earliest glories shine ; 

 Thus doth my spirit bow to thee, 

 My heart's own radiant deity. 



Mn. Embury.
