[O beneath such raptures in my forgetfull heart]
O beneath such raptures in my forgetfull heartThat at that moment neath a oaks mossd bough
From all the world debard world forgot
I sat as happy at that time as if
Id just recievd existence & as if
The world[s] sad troubles & the world[s] rude spite
Had never never been
