Ere man learned And spread the roof above them, — ere he framed The sound of anthems; in the darkling wood, 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? Let me, at least, Here, in the shadow of this aged wood, Offer one hymn, — thrice happy if it find Acceptance in His ear. -WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT. |
