Has grown more fair, beloved more,

A part of some fay-walked shore,

A haunt of beauties rare.

The gay dawn smells more fragrant there,

(When youthful May, new, fresh and fair,

Comes, bird-like through the laughing air,)

Than it was even of old;

And Evening throws a richer dress,

(O'er Elfindale's mild loveliness,)

Of fading pink and gold.
