Rh  The flowers and living things, still undefiled, And spoke one language with them? And can we, In countless generations, each more pure Than that preceding, come at last to see Thy symbols full of meaning, and be sure That what we read is all they have to tell?

OT on the word alone
 * Let love depend;

Neither by actions done
 * Choose ye the friend.

Let the slow years fly—
 * These are the test;

Never to peering eye
 * Opened the breast.
