Sebastian. Sebastian. I have, my father, but the cup of woe Is full even to the brim. And peace I have not found. Priest. Dispair not, son, the Holy One was crowned With thorns, and bent beneath the cruel blow; Yea, perished on the cross that we might gain Our souls salvation. Shall we then complain, We who have suffered so much less than He? Sebastian. Oh !father, father, I recall so well My days of childhood, when I sought God sshrine With my poor sainted mother, and when we Knelt down in prayer together. Then was mine The ecstacy of faith. The deep toned-bell Rang from the lofty spire as an appeal Of God to men, and at each mighty stroke New raptures in my thrilling breast awoke. The incense floated on the mystic air. And music seemed from heaven itself to steal In scarce heard accents, then to swell and swell, Resounding through the aisles, dim lighted, vast, And through the pointed arches far above.
