by Unknown

But melt in thin air when the daylight is glowing,

Alas! could such visions indeed be our own,

When approached and possessed, they would cease to delight—

But so long as they skirt the horizon’s dim zone,

They e’er seem enticing, empurpled, and bright!

W. H. Leatham.

VOICE.

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters, the God of glory thundereth.

The voice of the Lord is powerful: the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.—Psalm xxix. 3, 4.
