Low in its mountain-glen! Old, mossy trees

Mellow the sunshine through the untinted pane;

And oft, borne in upon some fitful breeze,

The deep sound of the ever-pealing seas,

Filling the hollows with its anthem-tone,

There meets the voice of psalms! Yet not alone

For memories lulling to the heart as these,

I bless thee, midst thy rocks, gray house of prayer!

But for their sakes who unto thee repair

From the hill-cabins and the ocean-shore.
