What sought they thus afar?
Bright jewels of the mine,
The wealth of seas, the spoils of war?
They sought a faith's pure shrine.

Additional quotes by Felicia Hemans

Come to the sunset tree!
The day is past and gone;
The woodman’s axe lies free,
And the reaper’s work is done.

In the busy haunts of men.

I had a hat. It was not all a hat,—
Part of the brim was gone:
Yet still I wore it on.

What sought they thus afar? Bright jewels of the mine, The wealth of seas, the spoils of war? They sought a faith's pure shrine. - Felicia Hemans
