With the soft laughter of her flowery meads;

Her joys, her melodies, the prancing stag

Flutters the shivering fern; the steed shakes out

His mane, the dewy herbage, silver-webb’d,

With frank step trampling; the wild goat looks down

From his empurpling bed of heath, where break

The waters deep and blue, with crystal gleams

Of their quick-leaping people; the fresh lark

Is in the morning sky; the nightingale

Tunes evensong to the dropping waterfall.
