“The groves were God's first temple. Ere man learned To hew the shaft, and lay the architrave, And spread the roof above them,--ere he framed The lofty vault, to gather and roll back The sound of anthems; in the darkling wood, Amidst the cool and silence, he knelt down And offered to the Mightiest solemn thanks And supplication.” MenFirstsSoundSilenceDown AndLaysSpreadWoodsThanksTemplesRoofSolemnLoftyFramedAnthemGroveVaultsSupplication Author:William C.
