OF

MR. MATTHIAS D'AMOUR.

"We're on a journey brief; the day is bright,

"And our thoughts joyous-that we shall not tire."
We're on a journey that is infinite;

'Mid an eternal change of sun and cloud,

Cold winter showerings and hot summer fire;

Breathed on by zephyrs, struck by whirlwinds loud;

And our thoughts, floating through eternity,

Are lapt by turns in joy and agony,

In glory and in gloom; and if fatigue

Assail us not in our unresting travel,

'Tis that we make with our own souls a league

Not to look far before, but on our road

Glance round and feel employ'd: would we unravel

The Immensity beyond? We lift a weary load.
