IN Paradise while moonbeams play'd,
Jehovah found, in slumber deep,
Adam fast sunk; He gently laid
Eve near him,-she, too, fell asleep.
There lay they now, on earth's fair shrine,
God's two most beauteous thoughts divine.-
When this He saw, He cried:-'Tis Good!!!
And scarce could move from where He stood.
No wonder, that our joy's complete
While eye and eye responsive meet,
When this blest thought of rapture moves us-
That we're with Him who truly loves us,
And if He cries:-Good, let it be!
'Tis so for both, it seems to me.
Thou'rt clasp'd within these arms of mine,
Dearest of all God's thoughts divine!
