Fair nature wed to human weal;

The rolling valley made a plain;

Its checkered squares of grass and grain;

The silvery rye, the golden wheat,

The flowery elders where they meet,—

Ay, even the springing corn I see,

And garden haunts of bird and bee;

And where, in daisied meadows, shines

The wandering river through its vines,

Move specks at random, which I know
