EARTH'S PLEASANT VOICES.

There is no solitude on earth
SIN every leaf there is tongue
In every glen voice of mirth-
From every hill hymn is sung,
And every wild and hidden dell,
Who're human footsteps never trod,
Is waiting songs of joy, which tell
The praises of their Maker-God.
Each mountain gives an altar birth
And has shrine to worship given,
Each breeze which rises from the earth
Is loaded with song of heaven,
Each wave that leaps along the main
Sends solemn music on the air,
And winds that sweep Ger oceans plain
Bear off their voice of grateful prayer.
