Part 30

Behind, the sinking sun reveals no shore Illumed with glory of his purple light; The land we left has passed forever more Beyond the reach of longing mortal sight.

A boundless sea on every side expands; We're drifting slowly toward the glowing east; In faith expecting yet more welcome lands, When toiling care, and mortal life have ceased.

Behold, it comes in robes of azure light! As sinks the sun behind the sullen waves, And on the pearly shore, enchanting sight, Are all the friends we thought within the grave.

And now, oh ship, your weary pinions fold, And rock to sleep upon the harbor's breast; This is the home, by faith our hearts foretold, Where we shall find activity and rest.
