Falls sweetly on my ear!

Stupendous Song, ’tis borne along,

Mellow and deft and clear,

Till each soul-nook with music shook

Rings back with merry cheer!

What vivid change will it so range!

Swiftly ’twill follow after

A pensive chirp with gay “stoup-stirp”

Ringing with merry laughter,

Until its chime in resonant rime
