't 
RELIGIOUS FERVOR. 
I asked her when in beauty dressed, 
When youthful hope inspired her breast, 
Where dwelleth he whom thou lovest best ? 
She said—in Heaven. 
I I asked her when she fondly prest 
Her smiling infant to her breast. 
Where dwelleth he whom thou lovest best ? 
She said — in Heaven. 
I asked her when her bloom was lost, 
When all her earthly hopes were crossed. 
Where dwelleth he whom thou lovest best t 
She said — in Heaven. 
I asked her in the dying gloom, 
Who is the brightest loveliest one ? 
’T is God, she cried, my God alone; 
And went — to Heaven.
