That serene and blessed mood
In which the affections greatly lead us on
Until, the breath of this corporeal frame
And even the motions of our human blood
Almost suspended, we are laid asleep
In body, and become a living soul;
while, with an eye made quiet by the power
Of harmony, and the deep power of joy,
We see into the heart of things.
