[Where Night here sable Wings shall ne'er display]
Where Night here sable Wings shall ne'er display,Nor rising Vapours hide refulgent Day;
Where Health, and Peace, and Pleasures all divine,
Shall mix their Charms, shall all in one combine,
Then dart themselves into each happy Breast,
And give them Raptures not to be exprest;
53
Which heav'nly Forms can only bear, and God dispense;
Where Hopes shall cease, and Wishes have an end,
And our Fruitions our Desires transcend;
Where no Disgusts, no Griefs, shall Entrance find,
Nothing disturb the Quiet of the Mind;
Where Death's unknown, and Life is only found,
Where with immortal Wreaths the Good are crown'd,
And all together join in Songs of Praise,
Together tune their sweet melodious Lays;
The grateful Tribute of their Voices bring,
And find no other Business, but to Love and Sing.
