The White Jonquil. — ‘ Devotion 
The incense offered by Faith upon the altar of Gratitude. 
To Tliee, oh, God! my thoughts uprise 
When Evening shadows fall; 
And when Morn gilds the Eastern skies, 
With hope on Thee I call; 
Convinced thou still wilt deign to hear, 
The faithful heart’s ascending prayer! 
To Thee, my soul in deep devotion, 
I lift when Care assails; 
To curb and soothe each wild emotion, 
Thy Mercy never fails; 
Then ever let each strong desire 
God of my Life! to Thee aspire!
