Or is the theme too vast for words?"

RESPONSE.

"'Tis God! who pours the living glow

Of light, creation's fountain-head:

Forgive the praise—too mean and low—

Or from the living or the dead.

No tongue thy peerless name hath spoken,

No space can hold that awful name;

The aspiring spirit's wing is broken;—

Thou wilt be, wert, and art the same!
