Lovely, lasting Peace of Mind Gently soothe my soul to rest; In thy soft balm relief we find To heal the sorrow-wounded breast; 'Tis thou canst tune my soul to peace, And make each jarring passion cease. Sweet Content! thou dear delight, Thou sovereign cordial for our woes; Thou mak'st our cares and burdens light, From thee incessant sweetness flows. From envy, pride, and discord free, We here enjoy a heaven in thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LIFE [AND THE FLOWERS] by GEORGE HERBERT A NYMPH'S PASSION by BEN JONSON FAREWELL OF A VIRGINIA SLAVE MOTHER TO HER DAUGHTERS SOLD INTO BONDAGE by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER TO AN ISLE IN THE WATER by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS ON THE DEATH OF JAZZ by JOHN KENDRICK BANGS |
