A Celestial Thought 

Happy those early days! when I
Shined in my angel-infancy.
Before I understood this place
Appointed for my second race,
or taught my soul to fancy ought
But a white, celestial thought,
When yet I had not walked above
A mile or two, from my first love,
And looking back (at that short space)
Could see a glimpse of his bright face;

-Henry Vaughan, The Retreat
