The Attic warbler pours her throat,

Responsive to the cuckow’s note,

The untaught harmony of Spring:

While, whisp’ring pleasure as they fly,

Cool Zephyrs thro’ the clear blue sky

Their gather’d fragrance fling.

Where’er the oak’s thick branches stretch

A broader browner shade,

Where’er the rude and moss-grown beech

O’er-canopies the glade,
