Rise silently and beautifully up
Through the calm atmosphere. Serenity
And loveliness and beauty are abroad
O’er the whole world of Nature.
At this hour,
When all the dark, wild passions of the breast
Are hushed and quelled by Nature’s spell of power,
When every wayward feeling is rebuked
And chastened by the blended influence
Of earth and heaven, I’ve stolen forth alone
