WHERE IS HEAVEN
BY KATE AUD.

The armament is full Of slttering STAR,
And planets round the sun their courses run
As round one common centre and our Earth
Is but planet circing round the sun.
The stars, which crowd the zenith, suns appear;
To many more, unseer is motion givcn
And in this maze Of worlds and planets bright
Which deck the gilded skies, say, rhere is Heaven!
The fixed stars are suns ard round them roll
stars-millions, billions can never see.
The planets claim the sun, and tits suppo cd
Those stars invisible-if this may be
Move round the tinicst stars that gd the sky;
The space is occupied no more is given;
So, therefore, in this va and great eSpanse
OF crowdel sky, Oh tell me, where is Heaven!
Oh. do the angels dwell among the stars,
And is Neptune seat a. Gods right hand,
And Jupiter the very seventh heaven'
And 90 tsc angels round the bright throne stand
And Is the sun to req resent that throne!
And to those seraphs bright, light wings given
Tha. they may soar abroad through earth and sky,
And sing their Makers praise! Is MS Heavcn'
And is The Moon the angels astral LAM rpcars !
Which lights the darSened heavens when eve ap.
Or is there, there, no night, but constant day!
Aud DO the blessed angels shed no tears!
Do they sing praises round the glorious throne
OF God, which is the brilliant sun we see!
4 fit resplcndcnt throne for our great King.
The space around is Heaven oh. can Mis BE-
Whecere may be the land of iurost bliss
Wherever reisns the Sovereign King ot al
Though it be further distant than cen ere
Ee seen from this-our own terrestrial bali.
Wherever soar the ang,s-seraphs bright,
Topraisc, and chant their joy. for sins forgiven -
No matter where il be, the Savior's there,
And all the angels--THlsI IS SURELY HEAVEN.
