what could be more tender in sentiment, or beautiful in expression than too following lives from a poem of

If a pilgrim hath been shadowed
By a tree that i have burned
If a gulp of clear cold water
I have raised to lips
If i've one sweet flower
By an batch way
If i've whispered in the midnight
One sweet word to fell of day
If in one poor bleeding
In woe-swept chord have sailed
If a dark and fearless spirit
I will hope of heaven have filled;
If i've made for life's hard battle
One faint heart grow leave and strong--
Then, my God, i than thee, bless thee,
For the precious gift of song
