The Light of Unconscious Inspiration

We'll prove to thee that angels can from their celestial land,

Converse with those who linger still upon Time's rocky strand;

Can hover near to bless their hearts with words of Truth and Love,

And lift them to a closer walk with God and Heaven above.

We'll prove to thee that thou canst still in tones of eloquence,

Breathe forth thy noblest sentiments in Freedom's dear defence;

That thou canst visit still those Halls where much of life you spent,

And where the highest powers of mind in Justice's cause were lent!
