ENIGMA. 
As ’twere a living thing. 
The homaee of its waves is given 
In ceas^ess worshipping. 
They kneel upon the sloping sand. 
As bends the human knee, 
A beautiful and tireless band. 
The Priesthood of the Sea I 
They pour the glittering treasures out 
Which in the deep have birth. 
And chant their awful hymns about 
The watcliing hills of earth. 
The green earth sends its incense i^p 
From every mountain shrine. 
From every flower and dewy cup 
That greeteth the sunshine. 
The mists are lifted from the rills 
Like the white wing of prayer. 
They lean above the ancient hills 
As doing homage there. 
The forest tops are lowly Cfist 
O’er breezy hill and glen. 
As if a prayerful spirit pass’d 
On nature as on men. 
The clouds weep o’er the fallen world 
E’en as repentant love ; 
Ere to the blessed breeze unfurl’d 
They fade in light above. 
The sky is as a temple’s arch. 
The blue and wavy air 
Is glorious with the spirit-march 
Of messengers of prayer. 
The gentle moon — the kindling sun — 
The many stars are given. 
As shrines to burn earth’s incense on — 
The altar-fires of Heaven 1
