40 THE BOUQUET. 



Are ruled by that same power Divine 



Who bids each glorious world of light 



In its appointed orbit shine ; 



And not more wonderous to the soul 



Are the bright worlds that o'er us roll 



Unchang'd by time, than the frail flower 



Whose life is compass'd by an hour ; 



Each speaks the same high language ;— each 



The same ennobling lessons teach ; 



Each leads our thoughts and hopes above, 



Each wakes our reverence and our love 



For the Supreme — the " Great First Cause," 



Who rules with such unerring laws.
