And the glory born of the poet’s dreams—

These are your charms, bright streams!

Now is the time of your flowery rites

Gone by with its dances and young delights:

From your marble urns ye have burst away,

From your chapel-cells to the laughing day;

Low lie your altars with moss o’ergrown,

And the woods again are lone.

Yet holy still be your living springs,

Haunts of all gentle and gladsome things!
