Made lovely by light of the sun,

Of garden, of field, and of tree-flowers,

Thy singers are surely in fun!

Or what is it wholly unsettles

Thy sequence of shower and shine,

And maketh thy pushings and petals

To shrivel and pine?

Why is it that o’er the wild waters

That beastly North-Easter still blows,

Dust-dimming the eyes of our daughters,
