The garden fresh and pleasant seen;

Life was delight, and thou, sweet maid,

No blush of shame thy charms betray’d;

For innocence ruled o’er thy breast,

Alike thy waking and thy rest.

Maiden, or angel upon earth,

Thy laugh, and song of gentle mirth,

In heaven were surely heard; thine eyes

Were stars, and like sweet melodies

Thy wandering tones; thy breath perfume,
