Over the earth and through the skies
In never-wearied search of Paradise——
Region that crowns her beauty with the name
She bears for us——for us how blest, 35
How happy at all seasons, could like aim
Uphold our Spirits urged to kindred flight
On wings that fear no glance of God’s pure sight,
No tempest from his breath, their promised rest
Seeking with indefatigable quest 40
Above a world that deems itself most wise
