Through blossom'd heath and ripening field.

When, shrunk by summer's fervid beam,

Thy peaceful waves I first beheld.

Calmly they swept thy winding shore.

When harvest's mirthful feast was nigh—

When, breeze-borne, with thy hoarser roar

Came mingling sweet the reapers' cry.

But now I mark thy angry wave

Rush headlong to the stormy sea;
