Bubbling runnels join’d the sound;

Through glades and glooms the mingled measure stole,

Or o’er some haunted streams with fond delay,

Round a holy calm diffusing,

Love of peace and lonely musing,

In hollow murmurs died away.

But oh! how alter’d was its sprightlier tone!

When Cheerfulness, a nymph of healthiest hue,

Her bow across her shoulders flung,

Her buskins gemm’d with morning dew,
