The meadows green relieve the eye

And echo with the gladsome cry

Of shepherds and their sheep.

6 The never-weary tribe of bees,

Now here, now there in blossoming trees,

Find booty far and near;

The sturdy juices of the vine,

For sweetness and for strength combine,

The pilgrim’s toil to cheer.

7 The wheat lifts rank its ears of gold
