-<poem>
-The spacious firmament on high,
-With all the blue ethereal sky,
-And spangled heav'ns, a shining frame
-Their great Original proclaim.
-Th'unwearied sun from day to day,
-Does his Creator’s powers display,
-And publishes to every land
-The work of an almighty hand.
-Soon as the evening shades prevail
-The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
-And nightly to the list'ning earth
-Repeats the story of her birth;
-While all the stars that round her burn
-And all the planets in their turn,
-Confirm the tidings as they roll,
-And spread the truth from pole to pole.
-What though in solemn silence all
-Move round this dark terrestrial ball?
-What though no real voice nor sound
-Amidst their radiant orbs be found?
-In reason’s ear they all rejoice,
-And utter forth a glorious voice,
-Forever singing, as they shine,
-'The hand that made us is divine.'
-</poem>
