in our affections, the companions Of our daily
walks, the inmates Of our gardens, the symbols OF

ano other handsome spectacle Of nature. Not
these alone, but many other minor works Of ma

With an eye that genius gavei
For him there's a story In every breeze,
And q picture In every wave"

Leaving all else to God,
Be thou patient in all things to endure"

The useful aud ornamental faculties Of the mind
should be fully developed, The uppermost work

But immortality attends the former, making O
man god"
