My choir she.ll be the moonlight waves, When murmuring homeward to their caves, Or whn the stillness of the sea, Even more than music, breathes of thee! I will see, by day some glade unknown, All light end silence, like thy throne; And the pale stars shall be, at night, The only eyes that watch my rite. Thy Heaven, Shell be my When I ablll The glories on which it is bliss to look, pure and shining brook, read, in words of :fllame, of thy wondrous name. I will rea.d thy anger in the rack, Tat clouds a while the dey-beams track; Thy mercy in the azure hue, Of sunny brightness breaking through! There is nothing bright, above bel~, From flowers that bloom to stars that glow; But in its light my soul can see, Some feature of thy Diety! There is nothing da~ below ailove, But in its gloom I trace thy love; And meekly wait that moment when, Thy touch shall turn all bright again! • � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
