Where the wild birds troll their songs,

Where the lilies laugh and the willows wave,

And the pleasures dance in throngs!

The dark-eyed nymphs and the fairy elves

In their robes of laughing smiles,

In the forests romp 'neath the leafy trees,

Through the narrow long-drawn aisles.

The bannered corn and the golden wheat

In the ties of bliss are bound;

The sweetest joys and highest hopes
