The generous prodigality of nature,

The balm, the bliss, the beauty, and the bloom,

The bounteous providence in every feature,

Recall the good Creator to His creature,

Making all earth a fane, all heaven its dome!...

The sod's a cushion for his pious want,

And consecrated by the heaven within it,

The sky-blue pool, a font;

Each cloud-capped mountain is a holy altar;

An organ breathes in every grove,
