"Oh, for the expanded mind that soars on high, 

 Ranging afar with Meditation's eye ! 

 That climbs the heights of yonder starry road, 

 Eising through nature up to nature's God» 



"Oh, for a soul to trace a Savior's power, 

 In each sweet form that decks the blooming flower ; 

 And as we wander such fair scenes among. 

 To make the Rose of Sharon all our Song."^
