A kindling with the spirit of the morn!

Bright gleams are scatter’d from the thousand rills,

And a soft visionary hue is born

On the young foliage, worn

By all the embosom’d woods—a silvery green,

Made up of spring and dew, harmoniously serene.

And lo! where, floating through a glory, sings

The lark, alone amidst a crystal sky!

Lo! where the darkness of his buoyant wings,

Against a soft and rosy cloud on high,
