A happy soul, that all the way To heaven hath a summer's day.

And when life's sweet fable ends,
Soul and body part like friends;
No quarrels, murmurs, no delay;
A kiss, a sigh, and so away.

And when life's sweet fable ends,Soul and body part like friends;No quarrels, murmurs, no delay;A kiss, a sigh, and so away.

Days that need borrow No part of their good morrow, From a fore-spent night of sorrow.

Great little One! whose all-embracing birth Lifts Earth to Heaven, stoops Heaven to Earth.

The conscious water saw its God, and blushed.
