'O happy.html">happy Earth! reality.html">reality of Heaven!
Throng through the human.html">human universe, aspire;
Thou glorious prize of blindly-working will! _5
Verge to one point and blend for ever there:
Where care and sorrow, impotence and crime,
O happy Earth, reality of Heaven!
'Genius has seen thee in her passionate dreams,
Haunting the human heart, have there entwined
Where friends and lovers meet to part no more.
The product of all action; and the souls
Have reached thy haven of perpetual peace, _20
That framed the fabric of thy perfectness.
'Even Time, the conqueror, fled thee in his fear;
So long had ruled the world, that nations fell _25
That for millenniums had withstood the tide
Across that desert where their stones survived
Yon monarch, in his solitary pomp,
That his light-winged footstep pressed to dust:
Before him, but the fixed and virtuous will, _35
That mocked his fury and prepared his fall.
'Yet slow and gradual dawned the morn of love;
Till from its native Heaven they rolled away: _40
Unblushing, undisguising, bold and strong;
Long sanctified all deeds of vice and woe,
She left the moral world without a law,
Nor searing Reason with the brand of God.
Reason was free; and wild though Passion went _50
Gathering a garland of the strangest flowers,
She bound the sweetest on her sister's brow,
No longer trembling at the broken rod.
