The Happiness of the Blessed considered as to the Particulars of their State | ||
XIX. THE VILLAGE CHURCH.
Dear is the ancient Village Church, which rearsBy the lone yew, on lime or elm-girt mound,
Its modest fabrick: dear, amid the sound
Of bells, the grey embattled tower, that wears
Of changeful hue the marks of by-gone years;
Buttress, and porch, and arch with mazy round
Of curious fret, or shapes fantastick, crown'd;
Tall pinnacles, and mingled window tiers,
Norman, or misnam'd Gothick. Fairer spot,
Thou giv'st not, England, to the tasteful eye,
Nor to the heart more soothing. Blest their lot,
Knew they their bliss, who own, their dwelling nigh,
Such resting place, there, by the world forgot,
In life to worship, and when dead to lie.
