Classic Poem

" HOW happy is the blameless vastal's lot?
" The world forgetting, by the world " forgot;
" Eternal sun-shine of the spotless mind;
" Each prayer accepted and each wish resign'd;
" Labour and rest, that equal periods keep;
" Obedient slumbers, that can wake and weep;
" Desires compos'd, affections ever even;
" Tears that delight, and sighs that waft to " heaven.
" Grace shines around her with serenest beams,
" And whisp'ring angels prompt her golden " dreams.
" For her the spouse prepares the bridal ring,
" For her white virgins hymeneals sing;
" For her th' unfading rose of Eden blooms,
" And wings of seraphs shed divine perfumes;
" To sounds of heav'nly harps she dies away,
" And melts in visions of eternal day.
