LyicsHow sweetly on yon tranquil stream
The setting sun imprints his ray,
While back reflects the saffon beam,
And glows, when it has pass'd away!
The moon, with calm and silver light,
And gently beaming, pensive ray,
Illumes the darkness of the night,
To guide the pilgrim on his way.
More sweetly far, when death draws nigh,
Religion casts her soothing light
Sheds on the spirit's opening eye
Her lines immortal, fair, and bright.
