That blessed mood

That blessed mood
In which the burthen of the mystery,

In which the heavy and the weary weight
Of all this unintelligible world,

Is lightened :—that serene and blessed mood,
In which the affections gently lead us on,

Until the breath of this corporal frame
And even the motion 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 life of things.
