His wide domain, surrounding,

By Nature’s treasure amply stor’d;

He from his casement could behold

The breezy mountain, ting’d with gold,

The varied landscape bounding!

The coming morn, with lustre gay,

Breath’d sweetly on his dwelling;

The twilight veil of parting day

Stole softly o’er his quiet shed,

Hiding the mountain’s misty head,
