The Winged WOrShipGTs.
By CHARLES sPRAGUE.

GAY, guIltless pair,
What seek we from the fields Of heaven?
Ye have no need of prayer,
Ye have no sins to be forgiven.
Why perch We here.
Where mortals to their Maker bend
Can your pure spirits fear
The God ye never could offend
To you it's given
To wake sweet natures untaught lays:
Beneath the arch of heaven
To chirp away life Of praise.
Then spread each. wing,
Far, far above, o'es lakes and lands,
And JON the choirs that sing
In yon blue dome not rear'd with hands.
Or if we stay
To note rhc consecrate3 hour,
Teach me the airy way,
And let me try YOUR envied power.
Above the crowd,
On upward wings could but H.,
Id battle in yon bright cloud,
And seek the stars that gem the sky,
'Twere heaven indeed.
Through fields Of trackless light to soar.
On natures charms to feed.
And natures own great God adore.
