PINACEi]: 



HANDBOOK OF THE FIRS AND PINES. 



SENILIS 



Creation's God shall creature strain declare ? 

 The Great First Cause of water, earth and air ! 

 Hence living fun^, lichens, musci, trees, 

 And germs and foes akin existences ! 



****** 



Shine on, sweet Nature, infinite thy store ! 

 Yet, fond I follow with my finite lore : 

 And here this pen thy lah'rinth path defines 

 As it hath trac'd it 'inid the Firs and Pines.
