I remember once when a careless child	A
I played on the mossy lea	B
The stars looked forth in the shadowy west	C
And I stole to my mother's knee	B
	-
With a handful of stemless violets wet	D
With the drops of gathering dew	E
And asked of the wonderful points of light	F
That shone in the distant blue	E
	-
She told me of numberless worlds that rolled	G
Through the measureless depths above	H
Created by infinite might and power	I
Supported by infinite love	H
	-
She told of a faith that she called divine	J
Of a fairer and happier home	K
Of hope unsullied by grief or fear	L
And a loftier life to come	M
	-
She told of seraphs on wings of light	F
That floated from star to star	N
And were sometimes sent on a mission high	O
To a blighted orb afar	N
	-
And with childish sense I forgot the worlds	P
She had pointed out on high	O
And deemed each wonderful beam of light	F
The glance of an angel's eye	O
	-
And when she knelt with her babes in prayer	Q
I know each petition now	R
I saw the gleam of those wings of light	F
Lie beautiful on her brow	R
	-
Years passed and in earliest youth I knelt	S
By my mother's dying bed	T
The lips were mute that had spoken love	H
And the eye's bright glance had fled	T
	-
And when I turned from that silent room	U
Where the latest word was spoken	V
The shadow of death o'er my spirit lay	W
And I thought that my heart was broken	V
	-
I sought the hush of the midnight air	Q
And wept till the founts were dry	O
The earth was clad in a wintry garb	X
But the star host filled the sky	O
	-
And then I remembered the faith divine	J
And the loftier life to come	M
And felt the shadow of Death depart	Y
From my childhood's sacred home	K
	-
And often now when my heart is faint	Z
With earth and its wearying care	Q
When my soul is sick with a feverish thirst	A2
And burdened with contrite prayer	Q
	-
I hasten forth to the starry gems	B2
That circle the brow of night	F
And track with them the eloquent depths	C2
Of the boundless Infinite	D2
	-
They whisper low of a holier life	E2
And a faith sublime and high	O
And again I fancy each golden beam	F2
The glance of a seraph's eye	O
	-
As in days of yore when a careless child	A
I stole to my mother's knee	B
And asked of the wonderful points of light	F
That shone o'er the deep blue sea	B
