To lean in joy upon our Father's knee;
And then I'll stand and stroke his silver hair,
And be like him and he will then love me.

That we may learn to bear the beams of love,
And these black bodies and this sunburnt face

The humble sheep a threat'ning horn:
While the Lily white shall in love delight,
Nor a thorn nor a threat stain her beauty bright.

Pity, a human face,
And Love, the human form divine,
And Peace, the human dress.

Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a heaven in hell's despair.

The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm: Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

How sweet I roamed from field to field,
And tasted all the summer's pride,
Till I the prince of love beheld,
Who in the sunny beams did glide!
