HEAVEN

This world is all a fleeting show For man's delusion given; The smiles of joy, the tears of woe, Deceitful shine, deceitful flow: There's nothing true but heaven!
And false the light on glory's plume, As fading hues of even; And love and hope and beauty's bloom Are blossoms gathered for the tomb: There's nothing bright but heaven!
Poor wanderers of a stormy day, From wave to wave we're driven, And fancy's flash and reason's ray Serve but to light the troubled way: There's nothing calm but heaven!
