THE SABBATH. 
BY IDA FAIRFIELD. 
God spake, and there was light, 
Wave after wave, of darkness rolled away, 
And glorious dawned, Creation’s morning day 
From chao’s wildest night. 
Again that voice was heard ; 
And to their bounds, the billowy waters fled 
In mountain piles, the bare earth leaving dead, 
By fruit of flowers unstirred. 
A third day dawned serene ; 
And grass, and waving tree, and shrub, and (lowers, 
In beauty sprang to deck earth’s chosen bowers, 
With glories yet unseen. 
Another added day; 
Forth rode the sun in chariot flame, 
And silver Luna with her starry train 
A matchless power display. 
Still spake the voice of God ; 
The deep was troubled with the throes of life. 
The air with countless winged forms grew rife, 
UpspriDging from the sod. 
Then come thine hour of birth ; 
Oh ! man ! immortal by the deathless flame, 
Which from thy Maker’s living spirit came 
Yet fashioned from the earth. 
Thus six days rolled away; 
Then rose the seventh, serenely still and fair, 
A holy radiance on the softened air, 
Like brooding pinions lay. 
A voice—the Maker’s voice ; 
“ My work is done ; this is my day of rest, 
An holy day, and sanctified and blessed, 
In it, ye shall rejoice.” 
One glad, triumphant peal, 
From cherubim and seraphim was sent, 
And harp, and voice of song, the Heavens rent 
That Sabbath morn to seal. 
Thus, unto man was given, 
That solemn rest, which weekly doth return, 
Forming anew the altar-fires, which burn 
To light his path to Heaven.
