For other's weal avail'd on high,
Mine will not all be lost in air,
But waft thy name beyond the sky.”

“And storied windows richly dight,
Casting a dim religious light.
There let the pealing organ blow,
To the full-voiced choir below,
In service high, and anthems clear
As may, with sweetness, through mine ear
Dissolve me into ecstasies,
And bring all heaven before mine eyes.”

John Milton (1608–1674) English epic poet

Appeared like god in the sunset sky,
But I was one of the children told
Some of the dust was really gold.”

The lonely town is lost amid the mountains proud.

Beyond the Jade Gate vernal wind will never blow!”
