Come, thou sweet Wonder, by whose power
  We more or less enjoy our years;
That mak'st a child forget the breast,
  And dry'st at once the children's tears,
Till sleep shall bring their minds more rest.

Come to my heavy rain of care,
  And make it weigh like dew; charm me
With Beauty's hair, her eyes or lips;
  With mountain dawn, or sunset sea
That's like a thousand burning ships.
