The Home Circle.

By Lizzie Mace McFarland

ASPIRATION.

O for a thought! a little thought That ne'er was thought before; One gleam of truth divinely fraught With wealth of angel lore.
O for a thought! a happy thought Of truth yet unexpressed; Which mortal ear hath never caught, Nor mortal mind hath guessed.
O for the power to look beyond The vail 'twixt earth and Heaven; To see what eye hath never seen— The bliss of the forgiven;
To trace duration from its birth, To where the future flies, And grasp the never-parted whole Of two eternities! —Lizzie Mace M'Farland.
