It is not just to thee, For painter or bard to borrow Thy emblem as that of Sorrow; Thou art more like Piety.

Thou wert made to wave, Patient when Winter winds rave o'er thee, Lowly when Summer suns restore thee, On some martyr's grave.

Like that martyr thou hast given A lesson of faith and meekness, Of patient strength in thy weakness, And trust in Heaven!
