MY SOUL is raying like a star,
My heart is happier than a bird,
And all to hear through fortune-s jar
One promissory word.
A sound as simple as the low
Quick sliding gurgle of a rill,
And yet with power to overflow
A world with blissful will!
I feel as though the very air
Was breathen from the heart of Love,
As Pleasure in the sun-s bright lair
Sat brooding like a dove!
A billow of the sunny sea,
A cloudlet of the summer sky,
How wide is their felicity-
So widely blest am I!
O Beauty, through one little word
What boundless power is thine to bless!
O Love, a seraph-s voice is heard
In thy confiding -Yes!â?
Yes
