The sacred sweetness of her summer time,

And her bright bosom cover’d o’er with flowers;

The viewless music of the breathing air,

The rushing wind that sweeps across the plain,

The breeze that dallies with the brow of care

And stirs the languid pulse to life again;

Heaven’s glorious arch, when morning through the skies

Skirts all its blue with gold, or sweeter far

At the dim twilight, or when softly rise

The new-born moon and glittering star on star;
