Stirring the leaves which seem to dance with joy.

No more the beauteous landscape in its pride

Of summer loveliness—when every tree

Is crowned with foliage, and each blooming flower

Speaks by its breath its presence though unseen—

For me has charms; although in early days,

Ere care and grief had dulled the sense of joy,

No eye more raptured gazed upon the scene

Of woody dell, green slope, or heath-clad hill;

Nor ear with more delight drank in the strains
