A DOMESTIC SCENE. 
BY MRS. HEMA' S. 
’Twas early day—and sunlight stream’d 
Soft through a quiet room, 
That hush’d, but not forsaken seem’d— 
Still, but with nought of gloom : 
For there, secure in happy age, 
Whoso hope is from above, 
A father communed with the page 
Of Heaven’s recorded love. 
Pure fell the beam, and meekly bright 
On his gray, holy hair, 
And touch’d the book with tenderest light. 
As if its shrine were there ; 
But oh ! that patriarch’s aspect shone 
With something lovelier far— 
A radiance, all the Spirit’s own, 
Caught not from sun or star. 
Some word of life e’en then had met 
His calm benignant eye ; 
Some ancient promise, breathing yet 
Of immortality; 
Some heart’s deep language, where the glow 
Of quenchless faith survives ! 
For every feature said—“ I know 
That my Redeemer lives.” 
And silent stood his children by, 
Hushing their very breath, 
Before the solemn sanctity 
Of thought o’er sweeping death ; 
Silent—yet did not each young breast 
With love and reverence melt? 
Oh 1 blest be those fair girls—and blest 
That home where God is felt.
