Nature a thousand various beauties yields:

The daisy and tall cowslip we behold

Arrayed in snowy white, or freckled gold.

The verdant prospect cherishes our sight,

Affording joy unmixed, and calm delight

The forest-walk, and venerable shade,

Wide-spreading lawns, bright rills, and silent glade,

With a religious awe our souls inspire,

And to the heav’ns our raptured thoughts aspire,

To Him who sits in majesty on high,
