text: whose untutor 'd mind Sees God in clouds , or hears him in the wind ; His soul proud Science never taught to stray Far as the solar walk or milky way ; Yet simple Nature to his hope has giv ` n , Behind the cloud-topp 'd hill , a humbler heav ` n ; Some safer world in depth of woods embrac 'd , Some happier island in the wat ` ry waste , Where slaves once more their native land behold , No fiends torment , no Christians thirst for gold !
