Stole o'er her happy face. The wilderness

Rejoiced, and blossom'd as the rose. The curse,

Which for six thousand years had sear'd the heart

Of nature, was repeal'd. And where the thorn

Perplex'd the glens, and prickly briers the hills,

Now, for the Word so spake and it was done,

The fir-tree rear'd its stately obelisk,

The cedar waved its arms of peaceful shade,

The vine embraced the elm, and myrtles flower'd

Among the fragrant orange-groves. No storms
