Ye vouchers of my life's o'erburdened cause,

How often Death you've heard me supplicate.

(Ode 8.)

Whereso my foot may pass,

A balmy rapture wakes

When I think, here that darling light hath played.

If flower I cull or grass,

I ponder that it takes

Root in that soil, where wontedly she strayed

Betwixt the stream and glade,
