Thou image of the Almighty One, as on thy wave I gaze,
It seems as God from off his brow the shroud of time doth raise,
And in thy might I see the hand that cleft thy headlong way,
And the veil of the eternal throne in thy column'd clouds of spay---
The diadem of mercy in thy many-colored bow.
And the terrors of his anger in the gulf that boils below ---
In thy thunder hear His voice --- O! then how dare I speak of thee,
When thus the Godhead speaketh, vain man must silent be.
C. H. Cope comes from England.
