ELYSIUM

A land for joyance made; blest for the blest;

Happy in being chosen for their rest;

For nowhere greener lawns, more bow’ry glades

Inviting into more reposeful shades

Of arched romantic groves, with, ev’rywhere,

Steeped in a purple glow, a larger air

Than Earth’s; for the lower world owes no debt

To sun or stars with which our skies are set;

It has them of its own, as real as ours.
