There shall he view, without a film to hide,

Delicious pastures, streams that softly glide,

Groves clothed in living greenness, filled with plumes

Bright as the dawn, and various as the blooms

With which the early Summer decks his bowers—

Gems all in motion, life-invested flowers.

Fairer than those, albeit surpassing fair,

His pencil painted with a skill so rare

That they, whose feet have never trod the far

And wondrous places where such creatures are,
