    How fading are the joys we dote upon!
    Like apparitions seen and gone;
    But those which soonest take their flight
    Are the most exquisite and strong;
    Like angel's visits short and bright,
    Mortality's too weak to bear them long.

An infant when it gazes on a light,
A child the moment when it drains the breast,
A devotee when soars the Host in sight,
An Arab with a stranger for a guest,
A sailor when the prize has struck in fight,
A miser filling his most hoarded chest,
Feel rapture; but not such true joy are reaping
As they who watch o'er what they love while sleeping.

Sing out my soul, thy songs of joy;
Such as a happy bird will sing,
Beneath a Rainbow's lovely arch,
In early spring.
