Lyics

THERE is a world we have not seen,
Which time shall never dare destroy;
Where mortal footstep hath not been,
Nor ear hath caught its songs of joy.


There is a region lovelier far,
Than sages tell or poets sing-
Brighter than summer's beauties are,
And softer than the breath of spring.


It is all holy and serene,
The land of glory and repose;
And there to dim the radiant scene,
The tear of sorrow never flows.
