      MEMORIALS

       OF

       HUGH MILLER.

      Unknown he came. He went a Mystery—

       A mighty vessel foundered in the calm,

       Her freight half-given to the world. To die

       He longed, nor feared to meet the great "I AM."

       Fret not. God's mystery is solved to him.

       He quarried Truth all rough-hewn from the earth,

       And chiselled it into a perfect gem—

       A rounded Absolute. Twain at a birth—

       Science with a celestial halo crowned,

       And Heavenly Truth—God's Works by His Word illumed—

       These twain he viewed in holiest concord bound.

       Reason outsoared itself. His mind consumed

       By its volcanic fire, and frantic driven,

       He dreamed himself in hell and woke in heaven.

      Edinburgh, December, 1856.
