Σελίδα 89 - What though each spark of earth-born rapture fly The quivering lip, pale cheek, and closing eye! Bright to the soul thy seraph hands convey The morning dream of life's eternal day— Then, then, the triumph and the trance begin, And all the phoenix spirit burns within! Oh, deep-enchanting prelude to repose, The dawn of bliss, the twilight of our woes!
