By which I do perceive without control,

A world of endless joys by Nature made,

That needs must flourish ever, never fade.

A wide, magnificent and spacious sky,

So rich 'tis worthy of the Deity,

Clouds here and there like winged charets flying,

Flowers ever flourishing, yet always dying,

A day of glory where I all things see,

As 'twere enrich'd with beams of light for me,

And drown'd in glorious rays of purer light,
