A FOREST HYMN The groves were God's first temples. Ere man learned To hew the shaft, and lay the architrave, And spread the roof above them -ere he framed The lofty vaultQ to gather and roll back The sound of anthems: in the darkling wood, Amid the cool and silence, he knelt down. And offered to the Mightiest solemn thanks And supplication. For his simple heart Might not resist the sacred influences Which, from the stilly twilight of the place, And from the gray old trunks that high in heaven Mingled their mossy boughs, and from the sound Of the invisible breath that swayed at once All their green tops. stole over him, and bowed His spirit with the thought of boundless power And inaccessible majesty. -William Cullen Bryant.
