MORNING - THE MOUNTAIN FAMILY AT THEIR DEVOTIONS, by                    
First Line: I see across the lofty table-lands
Alternate Author Name(s): Haliburton, Hugh


I SEE across the lofty table- lands
A hundred regal mountains at the least
Inclining mutely towards the opening East, -
As many little tjerns and queenly vands
Kneeling at different levels: Phoebus stands
Beaming benevolence like a great High Priest
Blessing a nation for some holy feast
At his wide temple-door with lifted hands.-
Rejoice, ye hills! ye happy mountains, fling
Your arms aloft in worship wildly free!
Ye vands, and rivers in the valleys, sing!
Shout! till the heavens ring with your choral glee;
And God Himself with mild face wondering
Looks out at last, and smiles well - pleased to see!
