Classic Poem

Hail wonrous being who in power supreme

Exists from everlasting, whose great name
Deep in the human heart, and every atom
The air the earth and azure main contains
In undecypher'd characters is wrote. —
Incomprehensible — oh can words
The weak interpreters of mortal thoughts
or what can thoughts (tho wild of wing they rove;
Thro the vast concave of the etherial round)?
If to the heaven of heavens they wing their way
Adventurous, like the birds of night they're lost
And delug'd in the flood of dazling day. —
— May then the youthful uninspired bard
Presume to hymn th'eternal; may he soar
Where seraph and where cherubim on high
Resound the unceasing plaudits, and with them
In this grand chorus arise his feeble voice.
