Here you will find the Poem The Heart of poet Jones Very
There is a cup of sweet or bitter drink, Whose waters ever o'er the brim must well, Whence flow pure thoughts of love as angels think, Or of its dæmon depths the tongue will tell; That cup can ne'er be cleansed from outward stains While from within the tide forever flows; And soon it wearies out the fruitless pains The treacherous hand on such a task bestows; But ever bright its chrystal sides appear, While runs the current from its outlet pure; And pilgrims hail its sparkling waters near, And stoop to drink the healing fountain sure, And bless the cup that cheers their fainting soul While through this parching waste they seek their heavenly goal.
