Bright with the golden shine of heaven, plays

On tender blades the dew;

And the spring-landscape’s trembling likeness sways

Clear in the streamlet’s blue.

Fair is the rocky fount, the blossomed hedge,

Groves stained with golden light;

Fair is the star of eve, that on the edge

Of purple clouds shines bright.

Fair is the meadow’s green—the valley’s copse—

The hillock’s dress of flowers—
