But do those silvery bells' delightful tone, To man's tried heart make such a sweet place known ? A joyful chord touch in the sinner's breast, Inviting him to come — believe — be blest ? Or by their chiming do they only say, " Come hear a sermon — or, come see a play, Come, clothe yourselves in gorgeous raiments fine, Your neighbour's elegance you must outshine : Come say your prayers, and have your sins forgiven ?" By whom ? by men who know, nor God, nor Heaven, Except perchance by hearsay or ...by rote. Which knowledge tliey impart from drawling throat. 88 YOUTH AND AGE. Whose hearts are hard — whose practice teaches naught, Except to give the lie to doctrines taught By word of mouth, — here consciences are eased, And rich men's vanities and fancies pleased — Here lettered tablets on the wall proclaim The brilliant virtues of some noble name, Acknowledged after its possessor's death, But never known whilst he drew mortal breath. 'Tis here that thoughtful men are asked to pray, To worship God upon His holy day.
