There is a land, where the roses are without thorns, where the flowers are not mixed with brambles. In that land, there is eternal spring, and light without any cloud.

The angels with their golden harps sing praises continually, and the cherubim fly on wings of fire! This country is Heaven.

Anna Letitia Barbauld
