An infant when it gazes on a light,
A child the moment when it drains the breast,
A devotee when soars the Host in sight,
An Arab with a stranger for a guest,
A sailor when the prize has struck in fight,
A miser filling his most hoarded chest,
Feel rapture; but not such true joy are reaping
As they who watch o'er what they love while sleeping.
Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)

Such as a happy bird will sing,
Beneath a Rainbow's lovely arch,
In early spring.
