A crorioue child, who dwelt upon a tract
or inland ground, applying to hill ear
The convolutions of a smooth-lipp'd shell;
To which, in silence hueh'd, hill very soul
Listen'd intensely; and hie countenance soon
Brigbten'd with joy; for from within were hear<l
Murmurings, whereby the monitor eltpNM'd
Mysterious union with ita native sea.
Even such a ahell, the universe itself
Ia to the ear of Faith ; and tbue are time.,
I doubt not, when to all it doth impart
Auth~ntic tidings of'invisible things;
Of. ebb and ilow, and evel'-du. ring pow&T;
And central peace, aubeiating at the hea.rt
Of endleaa agitation.
