" How often we forget all time, when lone 

 Admiring Nature's universal throne ; 

 Her woods, her wilds, her waters, — the intense 

 Reply of hers to our intelligence ! 

 Live not the stars and mountains ? Arc the waves 

 Without a spirit ? Are the di'opping caves 

 "Without a feeling in their silent, tears? 

 No, no. They woo and clasp us to their spheres, — 

 Dissolve this clog and clod of clay before 

 Its hour ; and merge our souls in the great shore."
