Of modest wood, the house of God is seen. By shaded springs, that from the sloping land Bubble and sparkle through the silver sand. Where high o'er arching laurel blossoms blow. Where fragrant bays breathe kindred sweets below, And elm and ash their blended arms entwine With the bright foliage of the mantling vine : Digitized by VjOOQ IC J 64 THE HIRELING AND THE SLAVE. In quiet chat, before the hour of prayer. Masters and slaves in scattered groups appear ; Loosed from the carriage, in ihi sha...des around, Impatient horses neigh and paw the ground ; No city discords break the silence here. No souiids unmeet offend the listener's ear ; But rurpl melodies of flocks ai;id birds. The lowing, far and faint, of distant herds. The mocking-bird, with minstrel pride elate. The partridge whistling for its absent mate. The thrush's solitary notes prolong. Bold, merry blackbirds swell the general song ; The crested cardinal, of scarlet hue. The jay, with restless wing of softer blue. The cawing crow — ^upon the loftiest pine Cautious and safe — ^their various voices join.
