(Infant Joy)

I have no name
I am but two days old
What shall I call thee?

(Infant Joy)
I happy am
Joy is my name,
Sweet Joy befall thee!

(Ah! Sunflower)

Ah sunflower weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun,

(Ah! Sunflower)

Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller’s journey is done;

(Ah! Sunflower)
Where the youth pined away with desire,
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,

(Ah! Sunflower)

Arise from their graves and aspire
Where my sunflower wish to go

(The Clod & the Pebble)

Love seeketh not Itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care;

(The Clod & the Pebble)
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven in H*ll’s despair

(The Clod & the Pebble)
So sang a little Clod of Clay
Trodden with the cattle’s feet’

(The Clod & the Pebble)
But a Pebble of the brook,
Warbled out these metres meet:

(The Clod & the Pebble)
Love seeketh only Self to please,
To bind another to its delight;

(The Clod & the Pebble)
Joys in another’s loss of ease,
And builds a Hell in Heaven’s despite
