My eyes are quite dazed with the light!

No longer I growl or I shiver,

Nor each fellow-creature I shun:

I dream of the joys of the River—

For here is the Sun!

For England, the atmosphere's splendid,

We live and we breathe now again!

We fancy our trouble is ended,

For gone is the fog and the rain:

I laugh and I sing and I chuckle,
