Flow joyous through an Eden's bowers,

Where perfume loads the falling dews;

While here and there, these laughing streams,

Dimpling and eddying ever gay,

Rippling o'er golden sand, that gleams

Like the Golcondian diamond's ray,

Leap headlong down a rocky dell,

And o'er the heaven's ethereal azure

Cast many a rainbow's glittering spell,

That chains the heart in silent pleasure.
