The sweet-laden thoughts come, like bees, to abide in his heart as a hive.	1
Bright as the sunbeam’s light.	2
A gleam of hope through my black night broke, Like a star’s bright form Through a whistling storm, Or the moon through a midnight oak.	3
Shone calm … like the moon in the midst of the night.	4
Vanished … like the body in the tomb.	5
Vanished … like the day branch in the fire.	6
