And Of art. though it is taken from Natures

For they sing, mighty Father, of Thee;
But. ah! there's no music in glen or in glade
To ne that is half so sweet
As the blest little home-notes that only are

BY dear little pattering feet.
lis music that watts on the wings Of pure
love
The heart to its Maker on high;
1t sniten the sorrows and hallOws the love
or all meath the o'er-arching sky;
And it lovingly weaves in the dull warp Of
life
Bright scenes that are lasting and sweet.
Oh raiubows of love, in the dark sky Of
strife.
Are these dear little pattering feet
Oh dearest + sounds! sure angels above
Never heard sweeter music than this
Every fairy-like note brealhes such volumes
Of love
That the heart is enraptured with bliss
Let nature and art sing their chi, fest Of
songs;
10 me they can never compete
With the pit-a-pat music that Only belongs
To dear little pattering feet.
