Lovely lasting peace of mind	A
Sweet delight of human kind	A
Heavenly born and bred on high	B
To crown the fav'rites of the sky	B
With more of happiness below	C
Than victors in a triumph know	C
Whither O whither art thou fled	D
To lay thy meek contented head	D
What happy region dost thou please	E
To make the seat of calms and ease	E
	-
Ambition searches all its sphere	F
Of pomp and state to meet thee there	G
Increasing Avarice would find	A
Thy presence in its gold enshrin'd	A
The bold advent'rer ploughs his way	H
Through rocks amidst the foaming sea	I
To gain thy love and then perceives	J
Thou wert not in the rocks and waves	K
The silent heart which grief assails	L
Treads soft and lonesome o'er the vales	L
Sees daisies open rivers run	M
And seeks as I have vainly done	M
Amusing thought but learns to know	C
That solitude's the nurse of woe	C
No real happiness is found	N
In trailing purple o'er the ground	N
Or in a soul exalted high	B
To range the circuit of the sky	B
Converse with stars above and know	C
All nature in its forms below	C
The rest it seeks in seeking dies	O
And doubts at last for knowledge rise	O
	-
Lovely lasting peace appear	F
This world itself if thou art here	P
Is once again with Eden blest	Q
And man contains it in his breast	Q
	-
'Twas thus as under shade I stood	R
I sung my wishes to the wood	R
And lost in thought no more perceiv'd	S
The branches whisper as they wav'd	T
It seem'd as all the quiet place	U
Confess'd the presence of the Grace	U
When thus she spoke 'Go rule thy will	V
Bid thy wild passions all be still	V
Know God and bring thy heart to know	C
The joys which from religion flow	C
Then ev'ry Grace shall prove its guest	Q
And I'll be there to crown the rest '	-
	-
Oh by yonder mossy seat	W
In my hours of sweet retreat	W
Might I thus my soul employ	X
With sense of gratitude and joy	X
Rais'd as ancient prophets were	Y
In heavenly vision praise and pray'r	Z
Pleasing all men hurting none	M
Pleas'd and bless'd with God alone	A2
Then while the gardens take my sight	B2
With all the colours of delight	B2
While silver waters glide along	C2
To please my ear and court my song	C2
I'll lift my voice and tune my string	D2
And thee great source of nature sing	D2
	-
The sun that walks his airy way	H
To light the world and give the day	H
The moon that shines with borrow'd light	B2
The stars that gild the gloomy night	B2
The seas that roll unnumber'd waves	K
The wood that spreads its shady leaves	J
The field whose ears conceal the grain	E2
The yellow treasure of the plain	E2
All of these and all I see	I
Should be sung and sung by me	I
They speak their maker as they can	F2
But want and ask the tongue of man	F2
	-
Go search among your idle dreams	G2
Your busy or your vain extremes	G2
And find a life of equal bliss	H2
Or own the next begun in this	H2
