CONTENTMENT, AN HYMN.
Lovely lasting peace of mind,
Sweet delight of human kind.
Heav'nly born, and bred on high,
To crown the fav'rites of the sky:
. . . [54 lines]
While chrystal waters guide along,
To please my ear, and court my song,
I'll lift my voice, and tune my string,
And thee, great source of nature, sing;
. . . [8 lines]
All of these and all I see,
Would be sung, and sung by me;
. . . [6 more lines]
