Inlets with thickets overhung,

The cloud’s rose-tint or fleecy pile,

And Echo’s wildly frolic tongue;

The light and shade that o’er thee play

The ripple of thy moonlit wave,

The long, calm, dreamy summer day,

The very stones thy waters lave;

The converse frank, the harmless jest,

The reverie without a sigh,

The hammock’s undulating rest,
