IMPLORA PACE:—A VERSION.
Reading edition

BY MRS. ELIZABETH J. EAMES.

Oh, Rest! serenest rest!
Mild evening of the soul—
Thou soft and silent Hesperus
Whose influences control
The pulses of the weary-hearted—
How often have our warm tears started
At mention of thy name,
When pictures blest of days departed
Our memories overcame!
Oh, Rest! serenest rest!
That by the sun of Truth
Art standing firm and fast,
Sought after from our youth—
Through all the changes of life’s lot,
But oh! sad truth, we find thee not!
