For the Sabbath thanks The busy busting world
With MI its cares, is banished for day,
And rest is here. Its sparkling waters cured,
And by elm branches screened, see the bay.
How soothing sounds the rustling of the leaves
That heck the grass, alternate bright and dim
Across the lawn my neighbours daughter weayes
Her voice and harp into oden HYMN.
Fears die away, hot raging passions flee,
insatiate gain, ambition, Turing fame
Till in the charmed air seem to see
Gods angels bearing Eden peace again
