	A
Spirit of earth thy hand is chill	B
I've felt its icy clasp	C
And shuddering I remember still	B
That stony hearted grasp	C
Thine eye bids love and joy depart	D
O turn its gaze from me	E
It presses down my sinking heart	D
I will not walk with thee	E
	-
	-
'Wisdom is mine ' I've heard thee say	F
'Beneath my searching eye	G
All mist and darkness melt away	F
Phantoms and fables fly	G
Before me truth can stand alone	H
The naked solid truth	I
And man matured my worth will own	H
If I am shunned by youth	I
	-
	-
'Firm is my tread and sure though slow	J
My footsteps never slide	K
And he that follows me shall know	J
I am the surest guide '	-
Thy boast is vain but were it true	L
That thou couldst safely steer	M
Life's rough and devious pathway through	L
Such guidance I should fear	M
	-
	-
How could I bear to walk for aye	G
With eyes to earthward prone	H
O'er trampled weeds and miry clay	F
And sand and flinty stone	H
Never the glorious view to greet	N
Of hill and dale and sky	G
To see that Nature's charms are sweet	N
Or feel that Heaven is nigh	G
	-
	-
If in my heart arose a spring	O
A gush of thought divine	P
At once stagnation thou wouldst bring	O
With that cold touch of thine	P
If glancing up I sought to snatch	Q
But one glimpse of the sky	G
My baffled gaze would only catch	Q
Thy heartless cold grey eye	G
	-
	-
If to the breezes wandering near	M
I listened eagerly	E
And deemed an angel's tongue to hear	R
That whispered hope to me	E
That heavenly music would be drowned	S
In thy harsh droning voice	T
Nor inward thought nor sight nor sound	S
Might my sad soul rejoice	T
	-
	-
Dull is thine ear unheard by thee	E
The still small voice of Heaven	U
Thine eyes are dim and cannot see	E
The helps that God has given	U
There is a bridge o'er every flood	V
Which thou canst not perceive	W
A path through every tangled wood	X
But thou will not believe	W
	-
	-
Striving to make thy way by force	Y
Toil spent and bramble torn	Z
Thou'lt fell the tree that stops thy course	Y
And burst through briar and thorn	Z
And pausing by the river's side	K
Poor reasoner thou wilt deem	A2
By casting pebbles in its tide	K
To cross the swelling stream	A2
	-
	-
Right through the flinty rock thou'lt try	G
Thy toilsome way to bore	B2
Regardless of the pathway nigh	G
That would conduct thee o'er	C2
Not only are thou then unkind	D2
And freezing cold to me	E
But unbelieving deaf and blind	D2
I will not walk with thee	E
	-
	-
Spirit of Pride thy wings are strong	E2
Thine eyes like lightning shine	P
Ecstatic joys to thee belong	E2
And powers almost divine	P
But 'tis a false destructive blaze	F2
Within those eyes I see	E
Turn hence their fascinating gaze	F2
I will not follow thee	E
	-
	-
'Coward and fool ' thou mayst reply	G
'Walk on the common sod	G2
Go trace with timid foot and eye	G
The steps by others trod	G2
'Tis best the beaten path to keep	H2
The ancient faith to hold	I2
To pasture with thy fellow sheep	H2
And lie within the fold	I2
	-
	-
'Cling to the earth poor grovelling worm	J2
'Tis not for thee to soar	B2
Against the fury of the storm	K2
Amid the thunder's roar	B2
There's glory in that daring strife	L2
Unknown undreamt by thee	E
There's speechless rapture in the life	L2
Of those who follow me '	-
	-
	-
Yes I have seen thy votaries oft	M2
Upheld by thee their guide	K
In strength and courage mount aloft	M2
The steepy mountain side	K
I've seen them stand against the sky	G
And gazing from below	J
Beheld thy lightning in their eye	G
Thy triumph on their brow	N2
	-
	-
Oh I have felt what glory then	O2
What transport must be theirs'	F2
So far above their fellow men	O2
Above their toils and cares	F2
Inhaling nature's purest breath	P2
Her riches round them spread	Q2
The wide expanse of earth beneath	R2
Heaven's glories overhead	Q2
	-
	-
But I have seen them downwards dashed	S2
Down to a bloody grave	T2
And still thy ruthless eye has flashed	S2
Thy strong hand did not save	T2
I've seen some o'er the mountain's brow	N2
Sustained a while by thee	E
O'er rocks of ice and hills of snow	J
Bound fearless wild and free	E
	-
	-
Bold and exultant was their mien	U2
While thou didst cheer them on	V2
But evening fell and then I ween	V2
Their faithless guide was gone	V2
Alas how fared thy favourites then	V2
Lone helpless weary cold	I2
Did ever wanderer find again	V2
The path he left of old	I2
	-
	-
Where is their glory where the pride	K
That swelled their hearts before	B2
Where now the courage that defied	K
The mightiest tempest's roar	B2
What shall they do when night grows black	W2
When angry storms arise	F2
Who now will lead them to the track	W2
Thou taught'st them to despise	F2
	-
	-
Spirit of Pride it needs not this	F2
To make me shun thy wiles	F2
Renounce thy triumph and thy bliss	F2
Thy honours and thy smiles	F2
Bright as thou art and bold and strong	E2
That fierce glance wins not me	E
And I abhor thy scoffing tongue	X2
I will not walk with thee	E
	-
	-
Spirit of Faith be thou my guide	K
O clasp my hand in thine	V2
And let me never quit thy side	K
Thy comforts are divine	V2
Earth calls thee 'blind misguided one'	V2
But who can show like thee	E
Past things that have been seen and done	V2
And things that are to be	E
	-
	-
Secrets concealed from Nature's ken	V2
Who like thee can declare	Y2
Or who like thee to erring men	V2
God's holy will can bear	Y2
Pride scorns thee for thy lowly mien	V2
But who like thee can rise	F2
Above this restless clouded scene	V2
Beyond the holy skies	F2
	-
	-
Meek is thine eye and soft thy voice	F2
But wondrous is thy might	Z2
To make the wretched soul rejoice	F2
To give the simple light	Z2
And still to all that seek thy way	F
Such magic power is given	V2
E'en while their footsteps press the clay	F
Their souls ascend to heaven	V2
	-
	-
Danger surrounds them pain and woe	J
Their portion here must be	E
But only they that trust thee know	J
What comfort dwells with thee	E
Strength to sustain their drooping powers	F2
And vigour to defend	A3
Thou pole star of my darkest hours	F2
Affliction's firmest friend	A3
	-
	-
Day does not always mark our way	F
Night's terrors oft appal	F
But lead me and I cannot stray	F
Hold me I shall not fall	F
Sustain me I shall never faint	B3
How rough soe'er may be	E
My upward road nor moan nor plaint	B3
Shall mar my trust in thee	E
	-
	-
Narrow the path by which we go	J
And oft it turns aside	B3
From pleasant meads where roses blow	J
And murmuring waters glide	B3
Where flowery turf lies green and soft	B3
And gentle gales are sweet	B3
To where dark mountains frown aloft	B3
Hard rocks distress the feet	B3
	-
	-
Deserts beyond lie bleak and bar	C3
