| TRUTH, like the diamond, is a fount of light, | | | Beaming effulgent in the darkest night; | | | Error its ebon form may intervene, | | | But still it beams as brightly, though unseen; | | | And though thus hid till centuries have past, | 5 | | The steady fire shall slay the foe at last. | | | Dark clouds may sometimes veil its radiant form, | | | And lightning rend it;—but, amid the storm, | | | The gem is undefiled, and its pure ray | | | Brighter shall shine, like sunbeams on the day | 10 | | When storm, and cloud, and lightning pass away. | | | |
