There Is power 10 make each hour
AS sweet as heaven designed Il;
Nor need We roam 10 bring il home.

And lose what nature found US;
For life hath here no charm so dear
AS home and friends around IT,

There are IN this rude. stunning tide
OF human care and crime.
With whom the melodies abide
OF the everlasting chime.
Who carry music IN their heart,
Through dusty lane and wrangling mart.
Plying their daily toll with buster feet.
Because their secret souls a holy strain
repeat--John Keble

II have faltered more or less
In my great task for happiness;
II / have moved among my race
And shown no glorious morning face
II beams from happy human eyes
Have moved me not; II morning skies.
Books and my food. and summer rain.
Knocked on my sullen heart in vain,
Lord. Thy most pointed pleasures take.
And stab my spirit broad awake.
