If I mistake not. I shall know anon.

Nature herself will teach me how to con

The new-found words to thank the glowing year.

This is the path that led me to the brook;

And this the mead, and this the mossy slope,

And this the place where breezes did elope

With giddy moths, enamour'd of a look;

And here I sat alone, or with a book,

Dreaming the dreams of constancy and hope.
