Title:     Fancy Employed On Divine Subjects
Author: Charles Lamb [More Titles by Lamb]

(_Summer, 1796. Text of 1818_)

The truant Fancy was a wanderer ever,
A lone enthusiast maid. She loves to walk
In the bright visions of empyreal light,
By the green pastures, and the fragrant meads,
Where the perpetual flowers of Eden blow;
By chrystal streams, and by the living waters,
Along whose margin grows the wondrous tree
Whose leaves shall heal the nations; underneath
Whose holy shade a refuge shall be found
From pain and want, and all the ills that wait
On mortal life, from sin and death for ever.

[The end]
Charles Lamb's poem: Fancy Employed On Divine Subjects
