A joy that cannot be easily defiled

Some joys can be shared with the world at a lesser risk of defiling them, a piece of good writing being one.

There is this poem by W.H Cowper which I had read in high school. Written somewhere in the last pages of 'Wren & Martin' .

Googled it to post a verse. Perhaps you may lke it.

DIFFERENT MINDS.

"Some murmur, when their sky is clear
And wholly bright to view,
If one small speck of dark appear
In their great heaven of blue.
And some with thankful love are fill’d
If but one streak of light,
One ray of God’s good mercy gild
The darkness of their night."

---W.H Cowper
