And oftest to Jehovah kneel?

Then I may say, but not with pride,

I feel the rushings of the tide

Of reason and of eloquence,

Which strive and yearn for eminence.

I feel high manhood on me now,

A spirit-glory on my brow;

I feel a thrill of music roll,

Like angel harpings, through my soul,

While poesy, with rustling wings,
