Esiraet from one Of Porciuass Poems.

The world is full Of Poetry. The air
Is living with its spirit; and the wavea
Dance 10 the music OF its melodies,
and sparkle in its brightness. Earth is veiled
And msatied with lie beauty: and The walls
That close the universe with crystal in,
Are eloquent with voices that proclaim
The unseen giories Of immeasty,
In hsfmones too perfect and too high
For aught bat beings of celes,s! mould,
aud speak 10 man, in ,ane eternal hymn.
