EDWIN AND ANGELINA.

[THE HERMIT.]

'TURN, gentle Hermit of the dale! And guide my lonely way

To where yon taper cheers the vale, With hospitable ray!

'For, here, forlorn and lost, I tread, With fainting steps and slow, Where wilds immeasurably spread, Seem lengthening as I go!'

'Forbear, my son!' the Hermit cries, 'To tempt the dangerous gloom! For yonder phantom only flies To lure thee to thy doom!

'Here to the houseless child of want,
My door is open still;

And though my portion is but scant,
I give it with good will!

'Then turn, to-night, and freely share Whate'er my cell bestows!

My rushy couch, and frugal fare,
My blessing, and repose!

'No flocks, that range the valley free, To slaughter I condemn;

Taught by that Power that pities me, I learn to pity them!

'But from the mountain's grassy side, A guiltless feast I bring!

A scrip with herbs and fruits supplied; And water from the spring!

'Then, Pilgrim! turn! thy cares forgo! For earth-born cares are wrong! Man wants but little here below;
