Of the Spirit.

It Is not the sunshine bright Upon the burning sand, It is not the tempest’s might On the unresisting strand; But It is an action tender V As If a grace It would render Removes the veil from our mortal sight, And then we find that we stand In the glory of heaven’s splendor It Is not the music heard Outrlnglng loud and clear, It Is not the spoken word That we.are so glad to hear: , But it is that tone of feeling Into our own hearts stealing From hearts that by our grief ore stirred ' To the trembling of a tear 1 Their tenderness revealing.
