Beautiful _Landscape_! I could look on thee For hours, unmindful of the storm and strife, And mingled murmurs of tumultuous life. Here, all is still as fair--the stream, the tree, The wood, the sunshine on the bank; no tear-- No thought of time’s swift wing, or closing night, Which comes to steal away the long sweet light,-- No sighs of sad humanity are here. Here is no tint of mortal change--the day,-- Beneath whose light the dog and peasant boy Gambol, with look, and almost bark, of joy-- Still seems, though centuries have passed, to stay; Then gaze again, that shadow’d scenes may teach Lessons of peace and love, beyond all speech. _Bowles._ There is a _land_ of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. There everlasting spring abides, And never withering flowers; Death like a narrow sea divides This heavenly _land_ from ours. _Dr. Watts._ Yes, far beyond the clouds outspread, Where soaring fancy oft hath been, There is a _land_ where Thou hast said The pure in heart shall enter in; They dream no more of grief and care, For Thou, the God of Peace, art there. _Mrs. Welby._ LAW. And the Lord said unto Moses, come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a _law_.--Exodus, xxiv. 12. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the _law_ of the Lord; and in his _law_ doth he meditate day and night.--Psalm i. 1, 2. Think not that I am come to destroy the _law_, or the prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the _law_, till all be fulfilled.--Matthew, v. 17, 18. The good need fear no _law_; It is his safety, and the bad man’s awe. _Massinger._
