All appeared new, and strange at the first; | |
Inexpressibly rare, delightful and beautiful. | |
I felt like one coming out of an upper room | |
To fret no more and walk abroad confirmed. | |
The houses shone in silence and the child in me | |
Stepped in so deep in this unshaded place; | |
A fine kingdom that meant to be home. | |
All things were spotless, pure and alive, | |
Free and immortal, | |
So I didn't want to know | |
What I was going to be. | |
All time was eternity. |
