But a true ge God-niade hel , p-meet , in your need Who comfort , and sweet help shall lend indeed ,
_Needing not _yoiirs to stand by , though she cling Thereto for dear love ' s sake ; meet , not to fling
Dead weights of household selfishness i' the scale 'Gainst higher duties' claim , nor , when ye fail ,
Make failure hopeless with her helpless wail ; But to keep pure your spirits from world's rust ,

Or if ye needs must rule still , pleading man As born to irehenceforth ( for ye can

Love ' s heaven-born blossoms cease on earth to bear Infernal fruit of ashes and despair ;
And happier Christian Sapphos , undismayed When cherished visions from their fond grasp fade ,
Fixing faith ' s eye serene ' mid tears and strife ,
Find in the bitterest cup , not death—but life ! *
