WHY?

eee Ij] every part of caimosphere Ts filled with flying thought, In oral speech or niutsic’s strain, And to-the ear.is brought? If wireless messages can pass, And make the air their slave, From continent to continent, Across the ocean wave? And in the twinkle of an eye Be audible to men, Ten thousand leagues across the sea, And far beyond our ken? If song with all its liquid notes, As truce as voice cf bird, Can winged fly beneath the stars, And instantly be heard? If nothing in the heavens above, Or on the earth below, Can intercept a melody Upon its onward flow; In lands on either side of earti:, Or in the vrealiis on high, And all the cther pass it on Beneatit the vaulted sky? Tf desert plain, or sand-blown dune, (Immensity of space). Can offer no obstruclion, or These flying thoughts efface? ~ If highest mountains cannot stop, These messages of air, Why should we ever doubtful be, That God can hear our prayer?
