Evil On Itself Shall Back Recoil.

Deep Vers'd In Books, And Shallow In Himself.

Midnight Brought On The Dusky Hour Friendliest To Sleep And Silence.

Thus With The Year Seasons Return, But Not To Me Returns Day, Or The Sweet Approach Of Ev'n Or Morn, Or Sight Of Vernal Bloom, Or Summer's Rose, Or Flocks, Or Herds, Or Human Face Divine.

And What Is Faith, Love, Virtue Unassayed Alone, Without Exterior Help Sustained?

Apostate, Still Thou Err'st, Nor End Wilt Find Offering, From The Paths Of Truth Remote.
