“Stern Lawgiver! yet thou dost wear + 

The Godhead’s most benignant grace; + 

Nor know we anything so fair + 

As is the smile upon thy face: + 

Flowers laugh before thee on their beds + 

And fragrance in thy footing treads; + 

Thou dost preserve the stars from wrong; + 

And the most ancient heavens, through Thee, are fresh and strong.” + 

Wordsworth, “Ode to Duty” + 
