  Oh! ecstasy rare Comes down to share The heart that with human love trembles; While all on the earth Is crowned with new birth And everything heaven resembles. But grief and despair Have latent their share In hearts that with human love tremble, Since fires of love Enkindled above In frail earthen vessels assemble. Still, ecstasy rare Comes down to share While all on the earth Is crowned with new birth And everything heaven resembles. |
