L. THE SABBATH BELL.
Hast thou not seen upon a lifted faceThoughts that the halting lips have failed to tell,
Or heard the blackbird in an April dell
Shape into song the sweetness of the place?
So, lost in that strange mood, when fancies chase
Back thro' the brain, their loveliness to spell,
I heard the chime of some far church's bell
Send forth the glad day's message into space:
The high hills spake not, but a voice was there;
The hollows hushed, but in the hush was prayer;
The lake, that held the mountains to its breast,
Gave back the mountains' meaning half-exprest,
Till by unconscious hands that bell was rung,
And Lake, Hill, Hollow, found a Sabbath tongue.
