There is a land mine eye hath seen

1

There is a land mine eye hath seenIn visions of enraptured thought,So bright, that all which spreads betweenIs with its radiant glories fraught,—

2

A land upon whose blissful shoreThere rests no shadow, falls no stain;There those who meet shall part no more,And those long parted meet again.

3

Its skies are not like earthly skies,With varying hues of shade and light;It hath no need of suns to riseTo dissipate the gloom of night;

4

There sweeps no desolating windAcross that calm, serene abode;The wanderer there a home may findWithin the paradise of God.
