’Mid shady trees, or open grounds,

With varied beauty charm.

O’er Humber’s wide-spread flowing stream,

White, gliding sails are seen,

Illumined by the sun’s bright rays,

Or ’neath some cloudy screen;

Whilst all His further shores repeat

The brighter, nearer view—

More faintly touched, more dimly seen—

Arrayed in softest blue.
