SELF-COMMUNION.
A lasting rest from pain and sin,
Where dwell the faithful and the brave;
But they must strive who seek to win.”

“Show me that rest—I ask no more.
Oh, drive these misty doubts away;[1]
And let me see that sunny shore,
However far away!
However wide this rolling sea,
However wild my passage be,[2]

  1. Alternative reading:
    Oh, drive these gloomy mists away.

  2. Cancelled reading:
    However bleak my passage be.
