In the far east, behold, the veil was rent ! And, now, emerging from unholy gloom, Which, for long ages, shrouded her bright fane, O er the wide land, Religion s purer ray Resistless sped ! Her bland and blessed beams A high intelligence to man disclosing THE CHARTER OAK. 23 His duty, glory, destiny, reveal d !
Then rose his thoughts, from grovelling passions free : No knee then bent, but when the thankful heart Or contrite mind, with penitential warmth, Pour d forth the frequent orison and pra...yer.
All worship due, and given to God alone !
