Beauty Combined with Piety. Water-Star
WATER-STAR .
As lightly floats the water-star,
And gems the limpid stream,
Thy graceful, radiant loveliness,
A star of earth doth beam!
As 'neath the wave its seeds are nursed,
For future bloom above,
Within thy soul, thou cherishest
Hope, meekness, faith, and love:
And like the germ, that soul shall rise,
When earth's cold bonds are riven,
Inhale the light in cloudless skies,
And bloom — a star of heaven!
