Sees God in clouds or hears him in the

Whose soul proud science never
taught to stray
Beyond the solar walk or milky way
Yet simple nature to his hope has

Beyond the cloud topped hills some

Some safer world in depths of wood

Some happier island in the watery

And thinks admitted to yon equal sky,
