Of , ordinary morJaJa , Astfoag tpfetl > Is near at hand which witters M « f fwk * ' Stranger . Thau , too , art flfija » fi&g , Sftirifc f in shy frrm , And now I know thee at an evil power * / Thou didst but work thy nature , and my pity Grows stronger than my hale * Thy faoe is fearful , Thy beauty is departed , and the lines Of a deformed and inharmonious soul
Grove momently still deepen . Would I could Change thy condition to a happier one ! Awhile since I Was wretched , but the sight Of one more wretched still has changed the course And current of my thoughts . Thou growest more fUrCe And horrible to look on , No # the crisis
Shows thee a perfect devil , * * * * * He shows more dim and hazy , less defined In his appalling lineaments . They melt In gradual roundness , like the sharpened furrows Following a water-plunge , more indistinct With each succeeding movement . Like a form Of vapour now he looks , but many times Increased in outward bulk * I see the stars
Dimly shine through his shadowy form * and noto Air only fills the space where Jat * he stood * And wafts the gentle moonbeams o ' er die earth * * * * * * * The light grows stronger and more beautifk ] , As thdugh pure ether were aroimd , and fcarth Had faded from the view . Another form .
Is gliding from abpte , but indistinct In all , save brightness . * * * + * * Thou art a spirit of good , thou Nearest a calm And placid smile of sweet benevolence , Which veils the outward seeming of thy power , And bids unquiet thoughts depart from all
Who gaze upon thee . He who vanished hence Could but stir pride within me to defy The very power which seemed to promise aid To my most wretched heart . But thou , good Spirit , Do * t with thin * influence bid all pride depart , And roaiett up hove instead *
Sphut . Mortal ! thou hast endured tfey trial well ; Good triumphs in thine heart , and evil dies ; * Tis given thee to look on AiV twin ipifit , To cheet tbee on thy path . Look well upon her , And seeic her tbrough the earth . Sr * AN < 3 * R .
