'Tis toil of day, that brings sweet rest at night,

And mingled joys make e'en our sorrows light:

The bliss we taste is bliss but just begun.

From height of age we gaze on years gone by;

The fruits of many a deed of good appear,

From which new plants are waving to the eye.

Forward we look; no terrors we descry,

But all is light, and peace, and pleasures dear:

One step will gain the glories of the sky!
