Waking the echoes lone,

Bids woodland glades prolong

Her sweetly tuneful song;

Till sky-lark blithe and linnet grey,

From fallow brown and meadow gay,

Pour forth their jocund roundelay;

Till ‘cowslip, wan’ and ‘daisies pied’

’Broider the hillock’s side,

And opening hawthorn buds are seen,

Decking each hedge-row screen?
