"There's no backward glancing needed
 To teach thee what to do,
For the bush which burned for Moses
 Glows bright to-day, for you,
And the voice that thrilled the prophet
 To deeds before unwrought,
Is the same that now interprets
 The Everlasting thought."

"O'er the busy Present's pathway
 Still 'signs and wonders' move,
And the miracles of Nature
 Her laws unchanging prove;
Ye have need to walk with reverence
 Bare-browed and feet unshod,
Lest ye fail to see the glory
 And hear the words of God."

1870.
