Such stores as silent thought can bring,
O gentle Reader! you would find
A tale in everything.

Of still and serious thought went round,

Loved and thought himself beloved
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.
Loved and thought himself beloved

Only more sure of all I thought was true.
Only more sure of all I thought was true.
