Appears before their wondering eyes;

And higher swells the music's sound,

And brighter glows the emerald ground;

The flowers appear as drunk,

Twilight red has on them sunk;

And through the green grass play, with airy lightness,

Soft, fitful, blue and golden streaks of brightness.

Like a shadow, melts and flits away

All that bound men to this world of clay;

In Earth all toil and tumult cease,
