And statues and a bright-eyed love,
And foolish thoughts of good and ill,
And prayers to them who sit above?

When the right man rings them.

Whose ripples spread from the heart of the sea,
He has married me with a ring of light, the glitter
Broadcast on the swift river.

While the cock with lively din
Scatters the rear of darkness thin,
And to the stack, or the barn door,
Stoutly struts his dames before,
Oft list'ning how the hounds and horn
Cheerly rouse the slumb'ring morn.

 
John Milton
 

While bright-eyed Science watches round.
