Those hands move round to mark the lapse of time ; And still are heard, within this lofty tower, My tuneful accents, in recording chime, To mind vain mortals of the fleeting hour. And when returns the day of sacred rest, Returns to all but thee, my voice I raise, To call them to obey their Lord's behest, And pay the sacrifice of prayer and praise. WINDMILL. Methinks, 'tis quite as needful to prepare Wherewith poor hungry mortals may be fed, As bid them gather to the house of prayer, And indolen...tly ask their daily bread. TIIE CHURCH AND THE WINDMILL. 191 Nor seems to me the busy noise that tells Of useful labour going on within, Less pleasing than the jangling of thy bells, That whiles send forth their harsh unmeaning din. CHURCH. Thy useful labours cio I not despise, Nor aught that serves to mitigate man's toil ; Whose daily food his daily work supplies, Condemned to cultivate the stubborn soil. But spare thy taunts : nor scorn the lowly prayer To that great Power, whose wisdom guides the wind ; And to whose providence and watchful care 'Tis wholly owing there is corn to grind.
