FOUND .
BY SAVAKICUS . EOR months my stricken heart has prayed , And grief its silence on me laid ; My feelings swayed by hope ancl fear , Are daily buoyed by niem ' ry clear .
A soothing thought will often rise , And bid me wait a great surprise ; The face I love , ancl long to see , In dreams cloth come and smile on me . , Awaking , I pour forth my soul To Him ivho cloth the sea control , And trusting ever in the Lord , A solemn calm is my reward .
A letter sent from far off land—The superscription in her hand ! Am I awake , is this a dream , Or cloth my mind with fancies teem ? All doubt is passed , I read , I cry , Mjoy is greatI smileI sigh
y , , ; The lost one ' s found , my darling ' s saved , Although the jaws of death were braved . A passing ship , with noble crew , Fvom drowning rescued one or two , Ancl bore the saved ones far away To distant shores—hence my dismay .
But now the cheering letter sent Hath banished all my languishmeut . I read the words of comfort o ' er , And sit and watch beside the door .
The blissful day has come ancl gone , As man ancl wife we now live on ; With grateful hearts a happy pair , Delighting in the love we share ; For dangers braved , for perils passed , We have a sweet reward at last : The joys of home our senses cheer
, And snugly housed no harm we fear , The balmy breath of blooming flowers , Pervades the sheltered oot of ours , The distant lake , the forest trees , And mountain range unite to please .
My heart is light , my house is gay , A fairy rules , I own her sway ; With gladdened eyes I look around . Ancl see the dear one , lost and found .
