Of trunks, through which there peers

Perchance the town, which, in the glow of day,

Like crystal light appears!

These cooling grottoes! O retirement blest!

Within thy calm abode

My mind alone can from her troubles rest,

With solitude and God.

Thou giv’st me life, and liberty, and love,

And all I now admire,

And from the winter of my soul dost move
