In lovelier, albeit her rainbow wings

Fold, but in fairy-spheres) a living well

Of sylvan joy art thou, whose thousand springs

Gush, sinless, gladness, peace ineffable,

And that luxuriousness of being, which

Mocks eloquence: warm, holy, ruby, rich.

Young land of beauty! 'neath thy sun-ting'd shades,

Beside thy lake, crystal in roseate light,

Enam'ring music breathes: there, raptur'd maids

In dances, with adoring youths unite;
