And even as wind and water, or the call

Of lowing herds, the murmur of them goes by.

Semi-Chorus.—

I know a valley in the hills,

Where echoes in the rocks and rills

Make melody; and there the cry

Of flocks is heard; and clamorous lambs

Bleat and hearken for their dams.

Whom when they hear, from far or nigh,

Swiftly along the meads they leap,
