Heal every suffering, sweeten every pang,

All treasons, murders, burnings, cast aside,

Strive thou to come but earlier and more frequent.

“If thou shouldst—listen, on these very plains,

Like to that arbour plant another bower,

And hither bring those willows that thou lovest,

And flowers, and even that stone from out the valley;

There let the children from the hamlet near,

Play joyously beneath their native trees,

And into garlands weave their native plants;
