O gentle Nature, do I turn to thee....

A garden by the mountain side

Is mine, whose flowery blossoming

Shews, even in spring's luxuriant pride,

What Autumn's suns shall bring:

And from mountain's lofty crown

A clear and sparkling rill comes tumbling down;

Then, pausing in its downward force

The venerable trees among,

It gurgles on its winding course;
