. 1 Bright shadows of true Rest! some shoots of bliss, Heaven once a week;
The next world's gladness prepossest in this; A day to seek;
Eternity in time; the steps by which We Climb above all ages;
Lamps that light Man through his heap of dark days; and the rich,
And full redemption of the whole week's flight. 2 The Pulleys unto headlong man; time's bower; The narrow way;
Transplanted Paradise;
God's walking hour; The Cool o'th' day;
The Creatures' Jubilee;
God's parle with dust;
Heaven here;
Man on the hills of Myrrh, and flowers;
Angels descending; the Returns of Trust;
A Gleam of glory, after six-days'-showers. 3 The Church's love-feasts;
Time's Prerogative, And Interest Deducted from the whole;
The Combs, and hive, And home of rest.
The milky way chalked out with suns; a clue That guides through erring hours; and in full story A taste of Heav'n on earth; the pledge, and cue Of a full feast:
And the Out Courts of glory.
