That is not of the loom,

Making the earth, the streams, the skies, the trees,

A Chapel of Ease.

Whereas, as you would plan it,

Wall'd in with hard Scotch granite,

People all day should look to their behaviors;—

But though there be, as Shakspeare owns,

"Sermons in stones,"

Zounds! Would you have us work at them like paviors?

Spontaneous is pure devotion's fire;
