And her half-parted lips were tremulous still,

As on them lingered, fluttering to depart,

Th’ unuttered burden of a gushing heart,

The voiceful murmur of the waves below —

The airs of balm that whispered through the leaves —

The trill of fountains in their dazzling flow —

The soul-born song the bright-winged wild bird weaves,

The various tones of teeming nature, rife

With the warm bliss of heaven-imparted life.

Glimpses of cities through far vistas seen —
