The dust ofearth that nerved itself man,
SO still, like to Himself tho power he molds +.
Which moves the soul, and Heaven to earth nfolds

Home "a the garden Heavenly Wisdom chose,

Where Whsasee, watched by angels, bud and bloom,
Refreshed anon, by Hopes unsetthg sun.
Yrishere, fond memory plucks her brightest flowers
TO strew iife's nHgged way In darker hours,-
'Tis here, she her wreNts, to crownthe brow

The charms thateyer thrill the thought ofhome?
Tbs but the barren tree, round xhiek the ylne,
Loaded with golden clusters, may entwlne.
Dereft oftriends, and lost to throbting hearts,
Gloom regns supreme, ard what was homo departs.
where e ,tis known RESPONDING g.earis remain,
With kindred hope-one common goal to gain.
Here Frisadshp like to heavens own growth is found;
Itlingers still though sighted Knocked and rcorned!
