Sooner earth

Might go round heaven, and the straight girth of Time

Inswathe the fullness of Eternity,

Than language grasp the infinite of Love.

O day, which did enwomb that happy hour,

Thou art blest in the years, divinest day!

O Genius of that hour which dost uphold

Thy coronal of glory like a God,

Amid thy melancholy mates far-seen,

Who walk before thee, and whose eyes are dim
