Robert Herrick - THE WHITE ISLAND:OR PLACE OF THE BLEST

2014-11-07 9 Dailymotion

In this world, the Isle of Dreams, <br />While we sit by sorrow's streams, <br />Tears and terrors are our themes, <br />Reciting: <br /> <br />But when once from hence we fly, <br />More and more approaching nigh <br />Unto young eternity, <br />Uniting <br /> <br />In that whiter Island, where <br />Things are evermore sincere: <br />Candour here, and lustre there, <br />Delighting:-- <br /> <br />There no monstrous fancies shall <br />Out of hell an horror call, <br />To create, or cause at all <br />Affrighting. <br /> <br />There, in calm and cooling sleep, <br />We our eyes shall never steep, <br />But eternal watch shall keep, <br />Attending <br /> <br />Pleasures such as shall pursue <br />Me immortalized, and you; <br />And fresh joys, as never too <br />Have ending.<br /><br />Robert Herrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-white-island-or-place-of-the-blest/
