While Fancy populates the place with fays,

In robes of dazzling sheen,

Who dance to merry music, and depart,

While other fairy visions cheat the gaze.

Around the sapling, like a verdant belt,

The claspers of the honeysuckle twine;

The Dryades of Argos never dwelt

Within a bower more beautiful than mine.

The humming-bird is near me on the wing,

And the warm breeze with dulcet tone is stealing
