TO WHO NEEDS CONSOLATION.
O can a gen’rous spirit brook,
With feeings of content;
To see an age, distrustful look
On thee, with dark intent!
I feel thy woes—my bosom shares,
Thy spirit’s agony:—
How can I love a heart that dares
Suspect thy purity?
I'll smile on all, that smile on thee
As angels do above—
All who in pure sincerity
Will love thee, I will love.
Believe me, thou hast noble friends
Who feel and share thy grief;
And many a fervent prayer ascends
To heav’n, for thy relief.
