Over my spirit as mild as a dove;
Hush,—for the angel of comfort is shedding
Over my body his vial of love;

Hush,—for my heart is intoxicate,—reeling
In the swift waltz of my beautiful brain!”

The lasso at my saddle-bow, the rifle in my hand,
A leash of gallant mastiffs bounding by my side,
And, for a friend to love, the noble horse on which I ride!
Alone, alone—yet not alone, for God is with me there,
The tender hand of Providence shall guide me everywhere,
While happy thoughts and holy hopes, as spirits calm and mild,
Shall fan with their sweet wings the hermit-hunter of the wild!”
