Thomas Traherne - The Rapture
Work rating: Low

Sweet Infancy!  
  O fire of heaven! O sacred Light  
  How fair and bright,  
  How great am I,  
Whom all the world doth magnify! 
  
    O Heavenly Joy!  
O great and sacred blessedness  
  Which I possess!  
  So great a joy  
Who did into my arms convey?  
  
    From God above  
Being sent, the Heavens me enflame:  
  To praise his Name  
  The stars do move!  
The burning sun doth shew His love. 
  
    O how divine  
Am I! To all this sacred wealth,  
  This life and health,  
  Who raised? Who mine  
Did make the same? What hand divine?
