SELECT POETRT. LINES. When up to mighty skies you gaze, Where stars pursue their endless ways, You think you see, from earth's low clod, The wide and shining home of God. But could you rise to moon or sun, Or path where planets daily run, Still heaven is spread above you far, While earth remote would seem a star. ' . i TU vain to dream these tracts of space, With all their worlds attrac bis face; One glory fills each rolling ball One love attracts and moves them all. Your earth, with nil its dust and fears, Is no less his than yonder xpheres ; The raindrops weak aud grains of sand . Are stamped by his immorUl hand. The rock, the wave, the little flower, Are fed by streams of living power That spring from an almighty will; What'er his thoughts conceive, fulfill. And is this all that man can claim ! , ' Are these his longings' final aim, To be like all things round no more Than pebbles east on Time's gray shore 1 Can man, no mors than beast, aspire To know his beings' awful Sire, And born and lost on nature's breast, No blessings seek, but there to rest. Not this man's doom, thou God benign, , Whose rays on each unclouded shine ; , : Thy breath sustains .the fiery dome, But man is most thy favored home. You view those halls of painted air, And own his presence makes them fair, But dearer 'still, to thee, O Lord, Is he whose thoughts with thine accord.
