Invite; the mountains call you, and the vales,

The woods, the streams, and each ambrosial breeze

That fans the ever undulating sky; 100

A kindly sky! whose fost’ring power regales

Man, beast, and all the vegetable reign.

Find then some woodland scene where nature smiles

Benign, where all her honest children thrive.

To us there wants not many a happy seat; 105

Look round the smiling land, such numbers rise

We hardly fix, bewilder’d in our choice.
