To climb the steep, and down the blossom drag;

Then the marsh-crocus joined, and yellow water-flag.

Shrill sings the drowsy wassailer in his dome,

Yon grassy wilderness, where curls the fern,

And creeps the ivy; with the wish to roam,

He spreads his sails, and bright is his sojourn,

'Mid chalices with dews in every urn;

All flying things alike delight have found—

Where’er I gaze, to what new region turn,

Ten thousand insects in the air abound,
