The New World’s progress toward Time’s perfect day.

O mighty monitor! O seer sublime!

The soul’s surpassing grandeur thou dost show;—

The fountains of thy immemorial prime

Through man’s immortal being freely flow.

THE MEADOW AIR IS SWEET.

The meadow air is sweet;—

The cowslip’s cup of gold

Is full of fresh and fragrant dew,—

More full than it can hold.
