59 THE CONTRAST.
See the proud scoffer, when his hours are run, When, after life's sad course, the goal is won, How heaves his hreast and quails his dimning eye, Convulsive shakes his frame with agony j His clouded soul is trembling -with affright ; Eternity to be an endless night.
His pallid lips demand a brief delay To own a God, to worship him and pray ; But heedless Death still hurries to the tomb, — Dark is his fall, but darker far his doom.
Now leave this sight and see the good man die. T...ranquil his mind, and calm his closing eye ; Placid his features as they fix in death, No agonising pain or gasp for breath ; For confidence in bliss beyond the sky Has made him happy live and joyous die : He knows the tyrant Death has lost his stings ; He knows that angels, with their golden wings, Will hover near to bear his soul away From this dull night to everlasting day, Where spirits, pure and bright, for ever range In universal bliss that knows no change.
60 PEACE AND WAR.
" Oh ! Christ, it is a goodly sight to see What Heaven hath done for this deUcious land.
