Were I dtspos'd t' address my prayer,
To aught creation holds to view,
"With fervent mind, and rev'rent air,
I'd at thy footstool humbly bow.
But thanks to Heaven, that gave the day,
Illum'd our path, and mark'd our road,
Dispell'd the gloom that vail'd our way,
" Through Nature on to Nature's God."
A MIDNIGHT PIECE,
Composed August, 1813.
Awake my Muse, attend the hour,
'Tis midnight still, and darkness reigns.
The world is hush'd beneath its power,
And clos'd are all the brighter scenes.
