Whose swelling cadences and dying falls

And whelming gushes of rich melody

Attune to meditation, all serene,

The weary spirit; and draw forth still thoughts

Of happy scenes half veilèd by the mists

Of bygone times. Yea, that calm influence

Hath soothed the billowy troubles of my heart

Till scarce one sad thought rises, though I sit

Beneath these trees, utterly desolate.

But no, not utterly, for still one friend
