*'' J, . , ' j \ >, ", -. *. f\ f -P No pestilence hath stalked abroad, And thrown o'er bliss the funeral pall ; No sword of crime-avenging GOD Hath marred man's toil-won festival ; His earthquake voice hath not been heard Amid the cheerful mirth of men ; The soul in peace hath drank His Word, And Life found joy in wold and glen, And Love crowned every bliss again and yet again. ANCIENT WORSHIP. *-, . , . ". ' "~v r . , -' ' / To me less hallowed, high and awful seem The rites and rituals of t...hese our days, When hollow forms and ceremonies hide Hearts stained by guile, that murmur while they praise, And lip humility and swell with pride, Whose faith is false as youth's fantastic dream, Than that pure worship of the olden Time, When from the dim wild stream or lonely height The Chaldean Shepherd read the spheres sublime, The starry glories of untravelled space, Where the wing'd seraphim, in countless choirs, Hymn'd the Immortal and his love and grace, Blessing the spirit, that from earth aspires, To flowery realms of everlasting light.
