GLIMPSES.Vive memor Lethi.
We walk no new, untravelled way,
Through dust and darkness unto day.

Fears haunt us here, and doubts assail,
There's rest within the shadowy vale.

Fair forms from out the silent Past,
Pause, bend, and beckon, gliding fast.

Low voices stealing on the ear,
Breathe gentle words of peace and cheer.

Hope, radiant-browed, sings, robed in white,
Of no more pain, and no more night.

Faith smiling stoops, with outstretched hand,
To lead us to the Unseen Land.

Time's touch, that withers all things here,
Mars naught in that celestial sphere.
