Travels in the United States, etc.,: during 1849 and 1850./ By the Lady Emmeline Stuart Wortley.

CREATION'S PRAISE.
XLVII.
Ah! as far as our frail, fettered senses allow,
Let us gaze on the scenes of their wonders e'en now,
Where the heavens burn with stars-maze thick crowded on maze,
Till All Space to One Sun seems to brighten and blaze.
XLVIII.
Oratorio of Nature! Oh, strike our dull ears!
With our souls let us list to your anthems, ye spheres;
Let your sun-blazoned orifiammes lead us on-on,
Till Earth's conflict is o'er, and Heaven's victory is won!
XLIX.
Is't enough? Oh, if not, look, thou mortal, within,
Through those deep mists of doubt-through the dark clouds of sin;
And behold the vast scene of thine own awful soul,
To the ken of a hushed contemplation unroll!
TIIE END,
