ON RECEIVING A BASKET OF SEA MOSSES	A
	-
Thanks for thy gift	B
Of ocean flowers	C
Born where the golden drift	B
Of the slant sunshine falls	D
Down the green tremulous walls	D
Of water to the cool still coral bowers	C
Where under rainbows of perpetual showers	C
God's gardens of the deep	E
His patient angels keep	E
Gladdening the dim strange solitude	F
With fairest forms and hues and thus	G
Forever teaching us	G
The lesson which the many colored skies	H
The flowers and leaves and painted butterflies	H
The deer's branched antlers the gay bird that flings	I
The tropic sunshine from its golden wings	I
The brightness of the human countenance	J
Its play of smiles the magic of a glance	K
Forevermore repeat	L
In varied tones and sweet	L
That beauty in and of itself is good	M
	-
O kind and generous friend o'er whom	N
The sunset hues of Time are cast	O
Painting upon the overpast	O
And scattered clouds of noonday sorrow	P
The promise of a fairer morrow	P
An earnest of the better life to come	Q
The binding of the spirit broken	R
The warning to the erring spoken	R
The comfort of the sad	O
The eye to see the hand to cull	S
Of common things the beautiful	S
The absent heart made glad	O
By simple gift or graceful token	R
Of love it needs as daily food	O
All own one Source and all are good	O
Hence tracking sunny cove and reach	T
Where spent waves glimmer up the beach	T
And toss their gifts of weed and shell	U
From foamy curve and combing swell	U
No unbefitting task was thine	V
To weave these flowers so soft and fair	W
In unison with His design	V
Who loveth beauty everywhere	W
And makes in every zone and clime	Q
In ocean and in upper air	W
All things beautiful in their time	Q
	-
For not alone in tones of awe and power	X
He speaks to Inan	V
The cloudy horror of the thunder shower	X
His rainbows span	V
And where the caravan	V
Winds o'er the desert leaving as in air	W
The crane flock leaves no trace of passage there	W
He gives the weary eye	Y
The palm leaf shadow for the hot noon hours	C
And on its branches dry	Y
Calls out the acacia's flowers	C
And where the dark shaft pierces down	V
Beneath the mountain roots	Z
Seen by the miner's lamp alone	V
The star like crystal shoots	Z
So where the winds and waves below	P
The coral branched gardens grow	P
His climbing weeds and mosses show	P
Like foliage on each stony bough	A2
Of varied hues more strangely gay	B2
Than forest leaves in autumn's day	B2
Thus evermore	C2
On sky and wave and shore	C2
An all pervading beauty seems to say	B2
God's love and power are one and they	B2
Who like the thunder of a sultry day	B2
Smite to restore	C2
And they who like the gentle wind uplift	O
The petals of the dew wet flowers and drift	O
Their perfume on the air	W
Alike may serve Him each with their own gift	O
Making their lives a prayer	W
