Edward Dyer was an English poet who wrote a few, well-remembered lyrics. He was born in 1543 and was a popular member of Queen Elizabeth’s court. He was at one point arrested while on a mission to find the philosopher’s stone. It’s uncertain how much poetry he wrote or if some poems are genuinely his or not.
Dyer’s ‘My Mind to Me a Kingdom Is’ celebrates inner peace and self-sufficiency, embodying Renaissance humanism.
My mind to me a kingdom is;
Such perfect joy therein I find
That it excels all other bliss
That world affords or grows by kind.
