(From Croly's "Sebastian.")
Open ye gates of peace, receive the bride,
In beauty come to pledge her virgin vow.
Oh! not with mortal thoughts those cheeks are dyed,'
Those downcast eyes not touch'd with mortal woe;
Her's are the thoughts that light the seraph's glow,
When, veiling his bright forehead with his plume,
He lays before the throne his chaplet low.
Daughter of princes, heir of glory, come!
Open ye gates of peace. She triumphs o'er the tomb.
Come, beautiful, betrothed! The bitter sting
Of hope deferr'd can reach no bosom here,
Here life is peace, unwreck'd by dreams that spring
From the dark bosom's living sepulchre.
At these high gates die sorrow, sin, and fear.
Woe to the heart where passion pours its tide;
Soon sinks the flood to leave the desart there;
Here love's pure stream with hues of heaven is dyed.
Come, stainless spouse. Ye gates of peace receive the bride!
