Whose steps saintly figure trod,

lie landed IL. our view,
Mids. flaming hosts above,
Whose ranks stood silent, while lie drew
Nigh to the throne Of love,
And nleekly took the lowest seat
Yet nearest his Retleemer's feet.
Thriii'd with ecstatic awe,
Entranc'd our spirits fell,
And saw--yet wist not what they saw,
And heard no tongue can tell
; Whist sounds the ear Of rapture caught,
Vita, glory siilcd 'h~eye of thought
J Thus far above the pole,
On WIGS &C rso.inting 6re,
, Faith may pursue the snfranchised soul,
Du: Soon her pinions tire:
II IS not given ~ mortal man,

0weet solitude, how soothing to the soul,

The spirit wakes IS meditation deep
How much unlike the pomp Of GRANDEUR

sweet sinplicity, thou reigness here
In all that's lovely to the sool or sight;
No pomp, no pride, to errins mortals dear,
Disgrace these walls&can God in pride

Each object speaks sincerity and truth,
What man should be--a.as, that he u

Tome hither, o ye vain and gaudy youth,
Come with me T. survey the silent spot
Beneath these aged oaks 70 silence given,
Sleeps many heart that nedi,atcd

The relics too Of many a soul in heaven,
OF many a soul la p,csy sincere.
No marble monument adorns the dead,
Or tells the story Of pcmpous name;
80 let me die so rest in peace my head,
Unknown to fortunes favors &. to fame.
But o, not all unloved-!et one kind
