Heaven Hails a Happy Man
Pause, ponder as much as you can,
Freed from mind's prison, what-if's pall,
Know, heaven hails a happy man.
Right things do happen to one when
He hearkens to soul's silent call,
Pause, ponder as much as you can.
Do take a panoramic pan,
View that the world's no hospice hall,
High time, it hails a happy man.
Enough of this ill-gotten tan,
Stop chasing Sun, goals getting tall,
And pause to ponder as man can.
Pray, all that ye have to do then—
To bridge a gulf and fell a wall,
Be cosy in a happy den.
This done, soar free as bird again,
Dawn’s dawn not when night’s shadows fall,
Feel happy, much as mortal can,
For heaven hails such happy men.
