Where the gleam of heaven gliding shall come

O’er the broad ocean from the bright east.

So the wondrous bird at the water’s spring

105 Bideth in beauty, in the brimming streams.

Of the joy-inspiring springs he tasteth

110 From the icy burn at every bath.

Then after his sport in the springs at dawn,
