Whose mild vibrations soothe the parted soul,

New to the dawning of celestial day.

Hence through her nourished powers, enlarged by thee

She springs aloft, with elevated pride,

Above the tangling mass of low desires

That bind the fluttering crowd; and, angel-winged,

The heights of science and of virtue gains,

Where all is calm and clear; with nature round,

Or in the starry regions, or the abyss,

To reason and to fancy’s eye displayed:
