On that best portion of a good man’s life,

His little nameless, unremembered acts

Of kindness and of love. Nor less, I trust,

To them I may have owed another gift

Of aspect more sublime; that blessed mood,

In which the burthen of the mystery,

In which the heavy and the weary weight

Of all this unintelligible world,

Is lightened; that serene and blessed mood,

In which the affections gently lead us on,
