To them I may have owed another gift,

Of aspect more sublime; that blessèd mood,

In which the burthen of the mystery,

In which the heavy and the weary weight 40

Of all this unintelligible world,

Is lightened:—that serene and blessèd mood,

In which the affections gently lead us on,—

Until, the breath of this corporeal frame,

And even the motion of our human blood, 45

Almost suspended, we are laid asleep
