Till the Fauns and the Dryads peer forth to hear

The trilling lays of your feathery band:

Ye came not, alas, from my native land.

Brook of the morn, of the morn of the year,

Burbling joyfully on your way,

Maiden and rose and woodland fay

Use as a mirror your waters clear:

But I mourn as upon your banks I stand,

That you come not, alas, from my native land.

Breezes and birds and brooks of the Spring,
