And saves the land from pestilence and dearth,

Comes not more joyous than the spirit dream,

Steals o’er the poet’s troubled soul, and gives

The rapture-speaking voice and tone!

He rises to another sphere—he lives

For a short season in a world alone!

Alone!—oh no! there Fancy groups her forms

More lovely far than earth presents to view;

More beauteous garniture that land adorns—

The skies assume a deeper, brighter blue.
