Who sits above the heavens? Can He receive

Favor from mortals?

Open not thy mouth

To multiply vain words, but rather bow

Unto the teaching of His works that spread

So silently around. His snows descend

And make the green Earth hoary. Chains of frost

Straighten her breadth of waters. Dropping rains

Refresh her summer thirst, or rending clouds

Roll in wild deluge o'er her. Roaming beasts
