TRIBUTE TO PHRENOLOGY.
Great science, let thy mighty power,
Embrace Earth's wide domain,
And stretch thy glorious banner's folds,
From river unto plain.
Grand triumph of thy founder's skill,
That compassed heart and thought,
That all the realms of intellect,
To thy disciples taught.
For lo! within that arch of bone,
There lieth the mighty plan,
The Creator's vast immensity
Of reason, fashioned by His hand.

And He who framed the universe,
Of man's unbounded thought,
Has to thee given the magic key,
That centuries have sought.
Let atheists bow with reverence when,
God's mighty truths profound,
Within the circle of the brain;
By thy great laws were found.
