Thy brink with watery foliage quaintly fring’d,

Thy surface with reflected verdure ting’d;

Soothe me with many a pensive pleasure mild.

But while I muse, that here the bard divine,

Whose sacred dust yon high arch’d aisles enclose,

Where the tall windows rise in stately rows

Above the embowering shade,

Here first, at Fancy’s fairy-circled shrine,

Of daisies pied his infant offering made;

Here playful yet, in stripling years unripe,
