Not he that e'er hath felt thy pow'r.

His joy expanding like a flow'r,

That cometh after rain and snow,

Looks up at heaven, and learns to glow:—

Not he that fled from Babel-strife

To the green sabbath-land of life,

To dodge dull Care 'mid clustered trees,

And cool his forehead in the breeze,—

Whose spirit, weary-worn perchance,

Shook from its wings a weight of grief,
