Inform the eye as Melody the ear
And ia its lesser forms II IS the pure
Accordance Of dissimilsr things that strs
The soul to feeling. Thus how beautiful
Is Earth, III Its wide, ceasless harmony
OF field and hill, OF river and OF wood,
OF stretching mountain aud deep sounding sea
To himtn whom the feeling iuiioite

Familiar language. Unto him IS gwen
Diyinest thoughts, and holy love Tor all

La Beauty's varied forms be sees the Type
OF Universal Truth aud Hottest Love
And from the lesson that II teacheth HIM
He gathers up bis witty Passing years
And brings them As Offering 10 the skies.
