TRUTH.

TRUTH.Itis not in the heart of thought,Nor in the breast of care;That truth its dwelling-place has sought,For all is sterile there:Nor is it in the mind, where gayDelusive visions throng,That chastening truth can find a wayIts glittering dreams among:Yet as within the desert far,There are reflections givenOf light, so in the heart there areRemembrances of Heaven.

Itis not in the heart of thought,

Nor in the breast of care;

That truth its dwelling-place has sought,

For all is sterile there:

Nor is it in the mind, where gayDelusive visions throng,That chastening truth can find a wayIts glittering dreams among:

Nor is it in the mind, where gay

Delusive visions throng,

That chastening truth can find a way

Its glittering dreams among:

Yet as within the desert far,There are reflections givenOf light, so in the heart there areRemembrances of Heaven.

Yet as within the desert far,

There are reflections given

Of light, so in the heart there are

Remembrances of Heaven.
