Does in a ray of glory fall,

Thou risest high

'Mid the deep blue sky,

Like a silver shaft from a fairy hall!

When from the light cigar thy sweet perfume

In od'rous cloudlets hovers round the room,

Inspired by Fancy's castle-building power,

Thy fragile form cheers many a lonely hour.

O'er every wave thy misty flag is seen

Careering lightly over billows green;
