;nr: in consequence of reading this qucstio
Droposed to one of Able Sicard's pupils, 'ar
the deaf and dumb unhappy"
oh could the kind inquirer gaze,


Upon thy brow with feeling fraught,
It's smile like Inspirations rays,


Would give the answer to his thought.
And could he see thy sportive grace,


Soft blending with submissions due,
And note thy bosom's tenderness,


To every Just emotion true;
And when the new idea glows


On the pure altar Of thy mind,
Observe the exulting tear that flows,


In silent ecstacy refined.
Thy active life, thy look of bliss,


The sparkling Of thy magic eye,
He would his sceptic doubts dismiss,


And lay his useless pity by.
And bless the car that ne'er has known
The voice of ccnsure. pride, or art;
Or trcmblcd at that sterner tone,


That while it fortures, chiLS the heart.
And bless the lip that nc'er can tell.


OF human woes vast amount,
Nor pour those idle words that swell,


The terror of our last account.
For sure the stream Of silent course,


May flow as deep, as pure, as blest,
As that which rolls in torrents hoarse,


Or murmurs o'er the mountains breast
As sweet scene, as faira shore,


As rich soil its tide may lave.
Then joyful and accepted pour


Its tribute to the mighty wave.
