THOU ART, O GOD.
  
THE BIRD, LET LOOSE.
  
FALLEN IS THY THRONE.
  
WHO IS THE MAID?
  
THIS WORLD IS ALL A FLEETING SHOW.

HARK! 'TIS THE BREEZE.
  
WHERE IS YOUR DWELLING, YE SAINTED?
  
HOW LIGHTLY MOUNTS THE MUSE'S WING.
  
GO FORTH TO THE MOUNT.
  
IS IT NOT SWEET TO THINK, HEREAFTER.
  
WAR AGAINST BABYLON.
  
THE SUMMER FÊTE.
