I wake the bird, I watch the bee,

No greater toil is set for me;

But tell me, pray thee, with what charge indued

You wander in this quiet solitude."

And Atmâ spoke with joyful fervency,

"I hither came on embassy unguessed,

Most blissful vision of my raptured view,

The dusk delights of quietness and rest

Desired I, nor thought to bid adieu

To all content my fond heart ever knew.
