SOLILOQUY XXI.
To thy high praises be my lips unseal'd,And in chaste strains celestial love reveal'd.
O thou bright cause of this celestial flame!
In sacred rapture let me speak thy name;
That name which ev'ry sullen care beguiles,
That dear-lov'd name still breath'd with heav'nly smiles;
191
And fills my breast with unmolested peace.
How much I love thee, thou alone canst tell,
On thee, on thee my thoughts for ever dwell.
To all but thee my joys, my hopes are lost;
How fair thou art to what the world can boast!
When I but meet a smile from thy bright eyes,
Nature in all her blooming glory flies;
And let the whole creation disappear,
I have enough; for God himself is here!
