There breathes no sigh on the dayspring’s air.

Come to the woods, in whose mossy dells

A light, all made for the poet dwells—

A light, colour’d softly by tender leaves,

Whence the primrose a mellower glow receives.

The stock-dove is there in the beechen tree,

And the lulling tone of the honey-bee;

And the voice of cool waters midst feathery fern,

Shedding sweet sounds from some hidden urn.

There is life, there is youth, there is tameless mirth,
