NINGARA.
Almighty voice that callest mo from sleep, Sleepless thyself through all the past of time, And still unspent. in«cnit-ble sublime. What answer can I make thee but to creep And hide my silence in the all-sheltering deep, E'ci, of the music 1 Clash of rhyme on rhyme Offends mino ear as 'twere a futile crime. Breaking tho pea^e which reverence should k.-ep. Yet for my worship lacking better way. Anil fleeing how thy strength is crowned with grace, | And maddened with the beauty of thy face, i I am constrained to cry as best I may And tell thee with my faint, adoring breath. That at thy band I fain would taste ot death. 1 Emily Ptkitfbb.
