Come, Rest in this BosomAir — Lough Sheeling COME, rest in this bosom, my own stricken deer, Though the herd have fled from thee, thy home is still here; Here still is the smile, that no cloud can o’ercast, And a heart and a hand all thy own to the last. Oh! what was love made for, if ’tis not the same Through joy and through torment, through glory and shame? I know not, I ask not, if guilt’s in that heart? I but know that I love thee, whatever thou art. Thou hast call’d me thy angel in moments of bliss, And thy Angel I’d be, ’mid the horrors of this, — Through the furnace, unshrinking, thy steps to pursue, And shield thee, and save thee, — or perish there too!
