Hail, va«t Atlantic ! visible io thee, I view '.f porter, ao awful mystery ; III thjo d Npby'd thy Maker's wisJaro shines.

Rich vviih the splendour which its mtstn en«htoud : Or .vhoa dark fio-^ns detorm thi* pi and skies. And disunt sounds of rushing winds arise ; W:i3n thro' the .»ir the conscious sea-birdi sweep. And reckleds storms career along the deep i When heaving billows viuk to gulfs immei»se, Or lift their heads in dread m ifjnifipenoe ; When vivid flas les round the horizon dart, Aiid tfansieat gleams amid thf* giooui impart, When giowling thunder roils m grandeur on, And joins the winds in fullton'd unison ; Wiieiher wa view thee wh<»n the leiui'Oiit raves, Or when soft .eptiy s f.ui thy trduquiJ waves, Slil lhoue.;!iiblt'il but lIis varied form, V/ho3o breath can rouse, whosa nod cxa calm the eloiin.
