As It Appeared To Enthusiasts At Its Commencement Reprinted From The FriendA
-
Oh pleasant exercise of hope and joyB
For mighty were the auxiliars which then stoodC
Upon our side we who were strong in loveD
Bliss was it in that dawn to be aliveE
But to be young was very heaven Oh timesF
In which the meagre stale forbidding waysG
Of custom law and statute took at onceH
The attraction of a country in romanceI
When Reason seemed the most to assert her rightsJ
When most intent on making of herselfK
A prime Enchantress to assist the workL
Which then was going forward in her nameM
Not favoured spots alone but the whole earthN
The beauty wore of promise that which setsO
As at some moment might not be unfeltC
Among the bowers of paradise itselfK
The budding rose above the rose full blownP
What temper at the prospect did not wakeQ
To happiness unthought of The inertC
Were roused and lively natures rapt awayR
They who had fed their childhood upon dreamsS
The playfellows of fancy who had madeC
All powers of swiftness subtilty and strengthT
Their ministers who in lordly wise had stirredC
Among the grandest objects of the senseU
And dealt with whatsoever they found thereV
As if they had within some lurking rightC
To wield it they too who of gentle moodC
Had watched all gentle motions and to theseW
Had fitted their own thoughts schemers more mildC
And in the region of their peaceful selvesX
Now was it that both found the meek and loftyC
Did both find helpers to their heart's desireY
And stuff at hand plastic as they could wishZ
Were called upon to exercise their skillA2
Not in Utopia subterranean fieldsB2
Or some secreted island Heaven knows whereV
But in the very world which is the worldC
Of all of us the place where in the endC
We find our happiness or not at allC2
