Praise love that ransoms all from fears

Nor asks for aught, save what to seers

Appears to be glad singing!

But stay—to keep below with men

The minstrel knows not how nor when.

Here end I then—yet once again

Let echoes answer, ringing

To that which lulls the babe at birth,

And voices all the good of earth,

Gives God His glory, heaven its worth,—
