Falls from my strengthened eyes; and now

Even in its deepest centre I behold

A spot more beautiful than human heart

Can comprehend; it is the home of Joy,

And there the blessed spirit broods for ever,

Making her dwelling-place a heaven: there

The skies are pure as crystal, and the eye

Looks through their clear expanse direct to God.

No sun is there; the air itself is light

And life; a rainbow spans it like a crown
