THE
PLURALITY OF WORLDS.
|
On Nature's Alps I stand, And see a thousand firmaments beneath! A thousand systems, as a thousand grains! So much a stranger, and so late arrived, How shall man's curious spirit not inquire What are the natives of this world sublime, Of this so distant, unterrestrial sphere, Where mortal, untranslated, never strayed? NIGHT THOUGHTS. |
