Because the "and" is placed before "the", so we have to leave out the pronunciation of [d] in the "and" in speaking?
Context
The rhyme shows the mood of the people and the mind of the Heaven.
@oristarA,
No, a clear speaker will leave it in. Especially if they are speaking fairly slowly.

Not, i think, written by a native English speaker. There should be no article before the word heaven.
@oristarA,
The 'd' sound in 'and' is often left out in speech, Ori.
