Where if a light air stray,

’Tis laden with hum of bees and scent of may.

Love and peace be thine, O spirit, for ever:

Serve thy sweet desire: despise endeavour.

And if it were only for thee, entrancèd river,

That scarce dost rock the lily on her airy stem,

Or stir a wave to murmur, or a rush to quiver;

Wer’t but for the woods, and summer asleep in them:

For you my bowers green,

My hedges of rose and woodbine, with walks between,
