Earth fills her lap with pleasures of...

Language: English

Earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own; 
Yearnings she hath in her own natural kind, 
And, even with something of a Mother's mind, 
   And no unworthy aim, 
   The homely Nurse doth all she can 
To make her Foster_child, her Inmate Man, 
   Forget the glories he hath known, 
And that imperial palace whence he came.
