Not to the earth confined	A
Ascend to heaven	B
	-
	-
Where will they stop those breathing Powers	C
The Spirits of the new born flowers	C
They wander with the breeze they wind	A
Where'er the streams a passage find	A
Up from their native ground they rise	D
In mute aerial harmonies	E
From humble violet modest thyme	F
Exhaled the essential odours climb	F
As if no space below the sky	G
Their subtle flight could satisfy	G
Heaven will not tax our thoughts with pride	H
If like ambition be 'their' guide	H
	-
Roused by this kindliest of May showers	C
The spirit quickener of the flowers	C
That with moist virtue softly cleaves	I
The buds and freshens the young leaves	I
The birds pour forth their souls in notes	J
Of rapture from a thousand throats	J
Here checked by too impetuous haste	K
While there the music runs to waste	K
With bounty more and more enlarged	L
Till the whole air is overcharged	L
Give ear O Man to their appeal	M
And thirst for no inferior zeal	M
Thou who canst 'think' as well as feel	M
	-
Mount from the earth aspire aspire	N
So pleads the town's cathedral quire	N
In strains that from their solemn height	O
Sink to attain a loftier flight	O
While incense from the altar breathes	P
Rich fragrance in embodied wreaths	Q
Or flung from swinging censer shrouds	R
The taper lights and curls in clouds	R
Around angelic Forms the still	S
Creation of the painter's skill	S
That on the service wait concealed	T
One moment and the next revealed	T
Cast off your bonds awake arise	D
And for no transient ecstasies	D
What else can mean the visual plea	U
Of still or moving imagery	U
The iterated summons loud	V
Not wasted on the attendant crowd	V
Nor wholly lost upon the throng	W
Hurrying the busy streets along	W
	-
Alas the sanctities combined	A
By art to unsensualise the mind	A
Decay and languish or as creeds	D
And humours change are spurned like weeds	D
The priests are from their altars thrust	X
Temples are leveled with the dust	X
And solemn rites and awful forms	D
Founder amid fanatic storms	D
Yet evermore through years renewed	Y
In undisturbed vicissitude	Y
Of seasons balancing their flight	O
On the swift wings of day and night	O
Kind Nature keeps a heavenly door	Z
Wide open for the scattered Poor	A2
Where flower breathed incense to the skies	D
Is wafted in mute harmonies	D
And ground fresh cloven by the plough	B2
Is fragrant with a humbler vow	B2
Where birds and brooks from leafy dells	D
Chime forth unwearied canticles	D
And vapours magnify and spread	C2
The glory of the sun's bright head	C2
Still constant in her worship still	S
Conforming to the eternal Will	S
Whether men sow or reap the fields	D
Divine monition Nature yields	D
That not by bread alone we live	D2
Or what a hand of flesh can give	E2
That every day should leave some part	F2
Free for a sabbath of the heart	F2
So shall the seventh be truly blest	G2
From morn to eve with hallowed rest	G2
