Haytime, and harvest, and the after mirth,

The slow soft rain, the rushing thunder plume.

All day in garden alleys moist and dim,

The humid air is burdened with the rose;

In moss-deep woods the creamy orchid blows;

And now the vesper-sparrow's pealing hymn

From every orchard close

At eve comes flooding rich and silvery;

The daisies in great meadows swing and shine;

And with the wind a sound as of the sea
