And my spirits mounted at the sight,

And I said within me it is well;

But where the bower, or peaceful dell,

Where this pure heavenly thing may dwell?

Then I bethought me of the place,

To lodge the messenger of grace;

And I chose the ancient sycamore,

And the little green by Greta's shore;

It is a spot so passing fair,

That sainted thing might sojourn there.
