Note:
Hail, holy light! offspring of heaven first born, -
Thee I revisit safe,
And feel thy sovereign vital lamp; but thou
Revisit'st not these eyes, that roll in vain
To find thy piercing ray, and find no dawn;
Yet not the more
Cease I to wander where the muses haunt-
Milton's Paradise Lost, - Book III.
