The Voice of Nature to the Human Soul.

Strong sympathies Uuauoyed exist
Between our natures varied glooms and gleesi
A common sympathy. We all well know
How sunshine lighting up world,
Doth likewise I'll our souls with happiness
Dispensing petty griefs that gloom our lives.
Z woe, in sunshine, oft doth loose It's weight;
As though our joys and natures smiles were
Born to sweetly dwell together unalloyed,
A joy meath blackenol skies doth lose its power
To elevate. AS though dark skies and grlefs,
Twin children were by heaven designed
To breathe the same black atmosphere.
Does nature have the power to mould our joys
And woes by her capricious changelul mood ?
Material light and shade suggesting
By some associated power to souls
Its varied lights and shades ofjoys and griefs?
Ordoe5 the soul, with its quick symFathies,
Impulsiye and delicate, with strange
Unknown and subtle art, reflections catch
OF natures many aspects, forms and shades
which It appropriates and with its own life
Mystcriously blends? We may not know
The ocean, air, ana earth a language has,
Though not artlculate yet eloquent.
To souls whose highest language ever is
Beyond the utteranccs Of speech, seen, }eH,--
subtle aura, emGnates, unseen
From every force and source, displays oman
lis own peculiar Misunderstanding TO
His quick receptive soul, life speaks to lite.
Insensate matter, once by Gods hands touched,
In His creative mood, betrays the thought
He thus impressed, and ever must retain.
The ad-eyed violet hath made me weep
The demonstrated pink to laughter turned;
The virgin lily, awakens purest thoughts,
And seems to chide the arGor Of the rose
That filings its wealth ofIove to every breeze.
Each flower language speaks to man,
Revealing harmonies to mind and sense,
Unheeded. oft unseen, unheard unfelt,-
The rains soft pattcr, tlnklng OH the roof,
subdues the heart-suggests most sweet repose;
The snow-fakes falling through the wintry sky
Seems crystal flowers with which the angels
weave
shroud to place upon sweet summers dear
Departed life, entombed in winters cold.
The pine -crowned mountains towering highly.
grand,
Through upper air, fun charged with vigorous life
Have raised my thoughts to heights unknown
In quest Of mysteries beyond their reach,
A rushing rivers might An oceans storm
All Heaven shut from 81 ght by warning clouds
That fill the world with lightning, flash on flash
And sudden deep-toned thundeIs quaking earth
Appalling hearts too weak TO hear the voice Of
God,
Or meet the sudden brightness of his glance.
All these sublimGst language speak to man,
They are the grand presentmeuts Of that soul!
Creative, first. and last immutable
In mystery thronod forever from our sight
But we, as sands connected are with Him
And thus we feel that woundrous sympathy
His woundrous works inspire; since nothing is but
Reflects, in form voice, the impress great What
Of His creative thought, and soul feels soul,
In conscious and unconscious things alike,
And only differing in degree and kind,
Ali that created was before the birth
or man contained the elements that God
Designed to fashion forth his crowning work,
A LiDiHg Soul, most wonderfully cased
In aggregated Natures perfect mould,
Ofheayen and earth composed, allied with both
1t ID not strange that man, the complex whole,
Should be in sympathy with all that is
With Heav'n and earth communng at his will,
Andquick to hear the the language ofboth sphere
That yibrate ever in his anxious ear.
Alas mans soul is not attuned as yet
To know and feel its comprehensive power,
Its highest hamonies ahiEgreatest joys,
The future holds day whose light
Shall beam on his progressive soul full dedged,
And intuition's eyes shall instant see,
What now we pray and rive for doubt and guess
