Joy o’erbrimming in its cheer,
Freedom on his pinions resting, sunshine soft, and heaven near.
Careless strength and free heart blending
In each note’s melodious mirth,
Calm within a pure soul bending
Praising for its heavenly birth,
For its gift of soaring pinions, lightening so the bonds of earth.
With that clear and sudden sweetness
Sober fancies swept along,
And its wild-wood, perfect meetness
