LINES TO A SLEEPING INFANT . Art thou a thing of mortal birth , Whose happy home is on the earth ? . . * Does human blood with life imbue Those wandering veins of heavenly blue , That stray along thy forehead fair , Lost ' mid a gleam of golden hair ? O ! can that light and airy breath Steal from a being doom'd to death ; Those features to the grave be sent , In sleep thus mutely eloquent ? Or , art thou , what thy form would seem , The phantom of a blessed dream ?
Oh ! that my spirit ' s eye could see Whence brirst those gleams of ecstacy I That light of dreaming soul appears To play from thoughts above thy years . Thou smil ' st , as if thy soul were soaring To Heaven , and Heaven ' s God adoring ! And who can tell what visions high May bless an Infant ' s sleeping eye ! What brighter throne Can brightness find To reign on , than an Infant ' s mind , Ere sin destroy \ J , or error dim , The glory of the Seraphim !
