WHERE.

Is the wind the soul Of nature!
Look how the wild leaves blow.
Restless as human creatures
They nutter to aud fro.
There is moaning in the pine-tree.
And whispering in the oak,
And wailing at the window
As if a spirit spoke.
In the sun the soul o. nature'
Look how the buds awake
And spread their tender petals
When the day begins to break
How brooks rejoice and glitter,
The SOW, broad rivers smile
And forest-tops light up and bough
For many a leafy mile.
ia the sea the soul of nature:
Hear how it raves and signs.
Sometimes with breast Of cleaning
glass,
II mirrors heavens sweet eyes;
Sometimes with storm and thunder
Its milk-white surf it p0urs
In splendid crests Of eager rage
Along the shrinking shores.
Oh! cola and mighty mother,
Where is the soul We seek I
Thou hast no weeping for our woe
No ear for song or shrek,
Thy heart is seamless granite
Thou canst not help or save,
Thou givest to the baby flowers,
And unto mana grave.
