Yon soaring sun on wings of fire,

Proclaims his great, celestial Sire—

'Tis chanted by the starry choir,

"There is a God."

We know it, too, at nights' fair noon,

When lo! the pale and placid Moon,

Illumes the balmy night of June,

"There is a God."

The smiling Spring, and Autumn brown,

Hoarse-raging Winter's angry frown,
