    How calm, how beautiful comes on
    The stilly hour, when storms are gone!
    When warring winds have died away,
    And clouds, beneath the glancing ray,
    Melt off, and leave the land and sea
    Sleeping in bright tranquillity.

Has yet a harder task to prove--
By firm resolve to conquer love!
