Night bent o'er the mountains	A
With aspect serene	B
The deep waters slept	C
'Neath the moon's pallid sheen	B
And the stars in their courses	D
Moved noiseless on high	E
As a soul when it cleaveth	F
In thought the blue sky	E
	-
The low winds were spent	G
With the fever of day	H
And stirred scarce a leaf	I
Of the green wood's array	H
And the white fleecy clouds	J
Hovered light on the air	K
Like an angel's wing bent	G
For a penitent prayer	K
	-
Sleep hushed in the city	L
The tumult and strife	M
And calmed in the spirit	N
The unrest of life	M
But one where Mount Lebanon	O
Lifted its snow	P
Slumbered not till the morn	Q
Wakened earth with its glow	P
	-
Beneath the dark cedars	R
Majestic sublime	S
That for ages had mocked	T
Both at tempest and Time	S
In whose tops the wild eagle	U
His eyrie had made	V
She knelt with pale cheek	W
In the damp mossy glade	V
	-
The small hands were folded	X
In worship divine	Y
And the silent leaves thrilled	Z
In that lone forest shrine	Y
With the voice of the pleader	K
That earnest and low	P
Was sad as the sea shell's	A2
And plaintive with woe	P
	-
She prayed not for life	M
Though Youth's early bloom	B2
Glowed on her fair cheek	W
And recoiled from the tomb	B2
But a heart pure and strong	C2
Sublimed by its pain	D2
A spirit attuned	E2
To the seraph's bright strain	D2
	-
She saw not the dark boughs	F2
That spectral and hoar	K
With lattice work rude	G2
Arched her wide temple o'er	K
She marked not their shadows	H2
Gigantic and dim	I2
Her soul was communing	J2
In triumph with Him	I2
	-
With the Ancient of Days	K2
Who from mercy seat high	E
Beheld the pale pleader	K
With vigilant eye	E
And Peace with white pinion	O
Came down from His throne	L2
And the gleam of her wing	J2
On that fair forehead shone	L2
	-
O Thou that upholdest	G2
The feeble and frail	M2
And leadest the pilgrim	N2
Through Life's narrow vale	M2
When the days that are measured	G2
My spirit below	P
Shall have ceased to the past	G2
From the future to flow	P
	-
May the Summoner find me	L
As placid and strong	C2
As meet for endurance	O2
Of agony long	C2
With a faith as divine	Y
And vision as clear	K
As the watchers who wept	G2
On the hills of Jud a	P2
