      How richly now , as the sunbeams sink , The golden waters in music roll—Oh , the lingerer there might almost think That the wave superb had itself a soul !—Pure shone that star-But how purer far Eternal hope and her glories are I Time ripples away ,

      But its waves , as they stray , Are gemm'd with the light of elysianr day . Sweet the greenwood straiil— - But it melts in vain On the reft one ' s ear in the trance » of paia The song is of heaven , To which it is given To bind the heart that the world has riven

      Rich the evening wave That the sunbeams pave—But no waters of earth may the stain'd heart lave * r On the Word ' s bright ground , Can alone be found The rivers that warble redemption round . Go thither , and there Sin , fear and care Will leave the spirit , serene and fair > And the foot that has trod That hallowing sod , Will press for ever the flowers of God !

      SATIRIC FRAGMENT ON THE CHRISTIAN MYTHOLOGY KNOWN AS THE ORTHODOX DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY * ( Belonging' to an unfinished Poem . ) As for the Trinal Trinity , no doubt , As far as years go , 'tis a reverend thing ; But time , which finds all human errors out , Has thinn'd its feathers , like an old rook ' s wing , So that it now flaps awkwardly about , Reft of that stately and imperial swing , With which it used to sweep the sunward wind , Leaving all earthly Phoenixes behind . I cannot ( for my sins , alas !) achieve What three should be , if not two more than one ; Nor can I force my dull brain to conceive , By any art of computation known , , But that , from three Gods taking * two , you leave One—which makes two superfluous , Ghost and Son : But , grant all these one sole Existence be , When once incorporate , could that one be three ?

      * ? * * ¦* And thus , I think , the Triad should be seized on , By all who love Truth , Liberty and Science ; Although , no doubt , it is a feat we ' re teased on , By those who set them all three at defiance .
