Far amidst folding hills, or forest leaves,

But, through its veins of beauty, so receives

A spirit of fresh dyes.

I come with every star;

Making thy streams, that on their noon-day track,

Give but the moss, the reed, the lily back,

Mirrors of worlds afar.

I come with peace,—I shed

Sleep through thy wood-walks, o’er the honey-bee,

The lark’s triumphant voice, the fawn’s young glee,
