THOUGHTS IN a CITY CHURCH.
From The ,SDecidfOr.

From The Spectator. -
Forgive the fault, If sometimes on my day. , q,
And in Thine house, my prayer hath foldeu
wing;
Nv spirit turned from Thee to things of sense,
And found delight in vain imagining.
All, coel and quiet places where men pray
Without the gentle sound of cawlng rocks,
Within. the country faces flushed With health,
The white smocks bent above the dog-eared
books
Soft breath of mignonette and scented thyme
From the warm hands of children sitting by,
And through the open door a veil OF elm
Across the glory of the Summer skyj
The sound of voices in the shady lane,
The trembling heat above some quiet mound
And here the sunbeams' painting on the wall,
Tie ivy's shmmerlng shadow on the ground;
And everywhere presence, without name,
Subtle ineflabe-a spell, no more
Breathing from arch and elm, from Hover and
groin
Ay. from the trodden stones upon the foor,-
A something that we know is not, today,
A somewhat that gives strength to prayer and
song;
And if we miss il. as we kneel to pray,
Art Thou extreme, q Lord, to mark 1t wrongi
Nay, for the desolate town was never Thine,
Unl0veliness hath never part IN Thee
Yet where gross man has marred Thy handIwOrk,
Souls that he could not reach are white and free.
So that I breathe the breath Of fragrant lives.
And learn that where flowers sicken, hearts
grow strong m
The better man within me cries. Content y
Albeit the weaker whispers still How long y
