    An infant when it gazes on a light,
    A child the moment when it drains the breast,
    A devotee when soars the Host in sight,
    An Arab with a stranger for a guest,
    A sailor when the prize has struck in fight,
    A miser filling his most hoarded chest,
    Feel rapture; but not such true joy are reaping
    As they who watch o'er what they love while sleeping.
