Its daisy blooms will meet us;

And the reed-pipe strain on the distant plain,

With the herd-boy’s song will greet us.

Let us go abroad at the early dawn,

With the blue sky bending o’er us;

While the mingled music of grove and lawn

Goes up in a grateful chorus;

For sweet is the breath of the morning, love,

And sweet are the opening flowers;

And sweet shall our communion prove,
