Amid the music of his waterfalls

And watched by winged sentries of the sky.

There friendly oak-trees bend their boughs above

The weary head, pillowed on earth's kind breast,

And unpolluted breezes lightly breathe

A song of sleep among the murmuring leaves.

There the big stars draw nearer, and the sun

Looks forth serene, undimmed by city's mirk

Or smoke of idol-temples, to behold

The waking wonder of the wide-spread world,
