“The ship of heaven, instinct with thought displayed Its living sail and glides along the sky, On either side, in wavy tide, The clouds of morn along its path divide; The winds that swept in wild career on high, Before its presence check their charmed force; The winds that, loitering, lagged along their course Around the living bark enamored play, Swell underneath the sail, and sing before its way.”
