Most wondrous book! bright candle of the Lord!
Star of Eternity! The only star
By which the bark of man could navigate
The sea of life and gain the coast of bliss
Securely.

He laid his hand upon "the Ocean's mane,"
And played familiar with his hoary locks.

The Course of Time (1827)

As living jewels dropped unstained from heaven.

Mercy stood in the cloud, with eye that wept
Essential love.

He touched his harp, and nations heard, entranced,
As some vast river of unfailing source,
Rapid, exhaustless, deep, his numbers flowed
And opened new fountains in the human heart.

The Course of Time (1827)

'T was Slander filled her mouth with lying words,
Slander, the foulest whelp of Sin.
