Ruminate, heedless of the scene outspread

Beneath, beyond, and stretching far away

From inland regions to the distant main.

Man views it and admires; but rests content

With what he views. The landscape has his praise,

But not its Author. Unconcerned who framed

The Paradise he sees, he finds it such,

And such well pleased to find it, asks no more.

Not so the mind that has been touched from heaven,

And in the schools of sacred wisdom taught
