Thomas Traherne - Joyful Sense and Purity

Thomas Traherne - Joyful Sense and Purity

The Prospect was the Gate of Heaven, that Day br The ancient Light of Eden did convey br Into my Soul: I was an Adam there, br A little Adam in a Sphere br Of Joys! O there my Ravished sense br Was entertained in Paradise, br And had a Sight of Innocence. All was beyond all Bound and Price. br An Antepast [foretaste] of Heaven sure! br I on the Earth did reign. br Within, without me, all was pure. br I must become a Child again.
