THOUGHT.

THOUGHT.Likeone who on a mountain stands,When morning into day expands,And, as a glory, views from HeavenThe plenteousness of brightness given;Even so is he, who marks remoteThe early cheering dawn of thoughtAdvancing o'er th' awakened mind,Till truth, within the soul defined,Spreads light and knowledge in the breast,And sets all doubts and fears at rest.

Likeone who on a mountain stands,

When morning into day expands,

And, as a glory, views from Heaven

The plenteousness of brightness given;

Even so is he, who marks remote

The early cheering dawn of thought

Advancing o'er th' awakened mind,

Till truth, within the soul defined,

Spreads light and knowledge in the breast,

And sets all doubts and fears at rest.
