- | |
Oh pleasant exercise of hope and joy | B |
For mighty were the auxiliars which then stood | C |
Upon our side we who were strong in love | D |
Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive | E |
But to be young was very heaven Oh times | F |
In which the meagre stale forbidding ways | G |
Of custom law and statute took at once | H |
The attraction of a country in romance | I |
When Reason seemed the most to assert her rights | J |
When most intent on making of herself | K |
A prime Enchantress to assist the work | L |
Which then was going forward in her name | M |
Not favoured spots alone but the whole earth | N |
The beauty wore of promise that which sets | O |
As at some moment might not be unfelt | C |
Among the bowers of paradise itself | K |
The budding rose above the rose full blown | P |
What temper at the prospect did not wake | Q |
To happiness unthought of The inert | C |
Were roused and lively natures rapt away | R |
They who had fed their childhood upon dreams | S |
The playfellows of fancy who had made | C |
All powers of swiftness subtilty and strength | T |
Their ministers who in lordly wise had stirred | C |
Among the grandest objects of the sense | U |
And dealt with whatsoever they found there | V |
As if they had within some lurking right | C |
To wield it they too who of gentle mood | C |
Had watched all gentle motions and to these | W |
Had fitted their own thoughts schemers more mild | C |
And in the region of their peaceful selves | X |
Now was it that both found the meek and lofty | C |
Did both find helpers to their heart's desire | Y |
And stuff at hand plastic as they could wish | Z |
Were called upon to exercise their skill | A2 |
Not in Utopia subterranean fields | B2 |
Or some secreted island Heaven knows where | V |
But in the very world which is the world | C |
Of all of us the place where in the end | C |
We find our happiness or not at all | C2 |
