From busy day the peaceful night;
Rich, from the very want of wealth,
In heaven's best treasures, peace and health.

Where angels tremble, while they gaze,
He saw; but blasted with excess of light,
Closed his eyes in endless night.

And gospel-light first dawn'd from Bullen's eyes.

And passages that lead to nothing.

The bloom of young Desire and purple light of Love.

Dear, as the ruddy drops that warm my heart.
