Where'er it[344] wandered in the morn

Of blissful infancy.[DI]

This glimpse of glory, why renewed?

Nay, rather speak with[345] gratitude;

For, if a vestige of those gleams

Survived, 'twas only in my dreams.

Dread Power! whom peace and calmness serve

No less than Nature's threatening voice,[346]

If aught unworthy be my choice,

From Thee if I would swerve;
