O, have you blessed, behind the stars, <br />The blue sheen of the skies, <br />When June the roses round her calls? – <br />Then do you know the light that falls <br />From her beloved eyes. <br /> <br />And have you felt the sense of peace <br />That morning meadows give? – <br />Then do you know the spirit of grace, <br />The angel abiding in her face, <br />Who makes it good to live. <br /> <br /> <br />She shines before me, hope and dream, <br />So fair, so still, so wise, <br />That winning her, I seem to won <br />Out of the dust and drive and din <br />A nook of Paradise.<br /><br />William Ernest Henley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-have-you-blessed-behind-the-stars/
