VII.

Is it not much that I may worship Him

With naught my spirit’s breathings to control,

And feel His presence in the vast, and dim,

And whispery woods, where dying thunders roll

From the far cataracts? Shall I not rejoice

That I have learn’d at last to know His voice

From man’s? I will rejoice!—my soaring soul

Now hath redeem’d her birthright of the day,

And won, through clouds, to Him her own unfetter’d way!
