Or savour of ethics proved and tried,
And flavours in doctrines never very wide ...
But high and pure ...
(That you’ll acknowledge!)
God ... but they were sure ...
Those grim fine people of ours! ... another hymn ...
“Only such things as are godly and pure,
Saved from consuming wrath they shall endure.”...
Is that the echo of the bell
From the tall-spired white meeting-house?
