- (continued from previous page)Waft us, in passing. from each islet holy,
Thoughts pure and calm as round they margins shine.VI
And when from home and thee our exiles, roaming
By Hudson's banks, or where the Laurence strays,
Bright o'er their pathway in the darksome gloaming
Be thou the Beacon guiding all their waysVII
Calm as thine own be theirs, the journey onwards
As peaceful theirs as thine, the end to be;
Proudly as thou, with eyes still gazing sunward
Enter as joyous, Eternity's wide sea.- Collector
