Alas! to seize the moment
When the heart inclines to heart,
And press a suit with passion,

They cannot seek his hand.

No school of long experience, that the world
Is full of guilt and misery, and hast seen

And view the haunts of Nature. The calm shade
Shall bring a kindred calm, and the sweet breeze
That makes the green leaves dance, shall waft a balm
To thy sick heart.

Of scarlet flowers. The tulip tree, high up,
Opened in airs of June her multiple
OF golden chalices to humming birds
And silken-wing'd insects of the sky.

Should we, in the world's riper years, neglect
God's ancient sanctuaries, and adore

Ah, why
Should we, in the world's riper years, neglect
God's ancient sanctuaries, and adore
Only among the crowd and under roofs
That our frail hands have raised?
