PARADISE REGAINED
There is a garden somewhere set,
Where singing birds abound,
And plashing founts the marble fret
With soft persistent sound;
Where singing birds abound,
And plashing founts the marble fret
With soft persistent sound;
Sorrow and sighing thence shall flee,
And none shall there intrude,
Save those who by simplicity
Have won beatitude;
And none shall there intrude,
Save those who by simplicity
Have won beatitude;
The simple heart and simple mind,
Sincere in trust and troth,
From honest pleasure unconfined,
For honest love unloth;
Sincere in trust and troth,
From honest pleasure unconfined,
For honest love unloth;

And there shall you be Queen; but I,
Shall I find entrance too?
Or must I roam eternity,
To search, sweetheart, for you?
Shall I find entrance too?
Or must I roam eternity,
To search, sweetheart, for you?
