 MONADELPHIA. 



.' Not a flower 



But shows some touch in freckle, streak, or stain, 

 Of HIS unrivalled pencil. He inspires 

 Their balmy odours, and imparts their hues, 

 And bathes their eyes with nectar, and includes, 

 In grains as countless as the sea-side sands, 

 The forms, with which He sprinkles all the earth. 

 Happy who walks with Him ! whom what he finds 

 Of flavour, or of scent in fruit or flower, 

 Or what he views of beautiful or grand 

 In Nature, from the broad majestic oak 

 To the green blade, that twinkles in the sun, 

 Prompts with remembrance of a present GOD. 

 His presence, who made all so fair, perceived, 

 Makes all still fairer." COWPER.
