ILLUSTRATION OF THE SENTIMENT. 
* 
Look to the east, when the morning is bright. 
When the purple is blending with rays of rose light ; 
My spirit shall then hold communion with thee, 
And thy blush, bright as morning, must whisper of me. 
And look to the west, when, pavilion’d afar. 
Sweet Love sends her smiles from her own favour’d star; 
And think of our friendship, as pure as star shine, 
My spirit shall then hold communion with thine. 
And at midnight’s deep hour, when the moon is on high. 
Should the angel of peace leave unseal’d thy soft eye. 
Look forth! the calm radiance is hallow’d above.
