SONNET.
WnAT art thou, MmTY ONE! and where thy seat'?
Thou broodest on the calm that cheers the lands,
And thou dost bear within thine aw l hands
The rolling thunder and the lightning's eet ;
Stern on thy dar-wrought car of cloud and wind, Thou guid'st the northern storm at night's dead
noon,
Or, on the red wing of the erce monsoon, Disturb'st the sleeping giant of the Ind.

Of sultry tracts, where the lone caravan
Hears nightly howl the tiger's hungry brood?
Vain thought! the con nes of His throne to trace, Who glows through all the elds of boundless space.
