Momentary

THE SWEETEST song was ever sung
 May soothe you but a little while:
The gayest music ever rung
 Shall yield you but a fleeting smile.
 
The well I digged you soon shall pass:
 You may but rest with me an hour:
Yet drink, I offer you the glass,
 A moment of sustaining power,
 
And give to you, if it be gain,
 Whether in pleasure or annoy,
To see one elemental pain,
 One light of everlasting joy.
