GOD APPEARING.
221
—"Fair the vernal mead,
Fair the high grove, the sea, the son, the stars,
True impress each of their creating Sire!
Yet, nor high grove, nor many-coloured mead,
Nor the green Ocean with his thousand isles,
Nor the starred azure, nor the sovereign sun.
E'er with such majesty of portraiture
Imaged the Supreme beauty uncreate,
As Thou, meek Saviour!—Lovely was the death
Of Him whose life was love. Holy with power
He on the thought-benighted sceptic beamed
Mahifest Godhead."[1]
