Excerpt from A Poem on the Meditation of Nature: Spoken September 26th, 1832, Before the Association of the Alumni of Washington College
How priceless is the lesson that we learn From Nature's bright, yet ever-varying, page In youth's warm glow, when rays of promise burn, And in the frosty evening of Old age, One joy abides within the fervent heart, Which only can with life and hope depart. It is to gaze on Nature, and to feel, Though time may on our pathway darkly steal And veil the firmament with gathering shades, That her surpassing beauty never fades That slow decay can never waste her forms Of stirring grandeur or serene repose Around her sweep the lightning-pinioned storms, Upon her bosom rest the glittering snows, Still she revives, and, undecaying, smiles Her waters leap in gladness to the sea, Brighter than emeralds gleam her myriad isles, Along her shores, the soft gale wafted free.
