Like the sweet, blushing dawn,

When with her living light she paints

The dew-drops of the lawn?

2 Fair as the moon when in the skies

Serene her throne she guides,

And o’er the twinkling stars supreme

In full orbed glory rides;

3 Clear as the sun, when from the east,

Without a cloud he springs,

And scatters boundless light and heat,
