From ms fight DER the earth he may there

Till again to the vast tent of heaven ne goes.
And the angel mis- dwelling place keeps in re-

All around ne adorns It, and paints it well,
And much he's dehghte within 1t to dwell
True Sunshine Of gold from the orb OF day

Permits to come in, very good ones they'll be.

Shouldst thou now and then dream that love

doubt and fear fly before the delicious
