It hovers o'er my head, and now

I feel its hand upon my brow.

I see the light of feeling play

And sparkle in its winning smile,

To chase my brooding cares away,

And all my sorrows to beguile;

I hear the voice I loved to hear

Mix with the music of the stream;

The well-known accents strike my ear:

Away! 'tis fancy's wildest dream:
