Sweet Morn! Spring leads thee by the hand

And bids thee shine o’er all the land;

Thou send’st forth beams of purest gold,

To bid the daffodils unfold,

While Spring bends down with her fresh lips

To kiss the daisie’s petal tips.

And as she walks o’er the green sward

A cheerful mavis, perfect bard

Breaks into song; his thrilling notes

Are echoed from a hundred throats
