Their thirst from thee; a thousand languishing fields,

A thousand fainting gardens are refreshed;

A thousand idle rivulets start to speed,

And with the graver murmur of the storm

Blend their light voices, as they hurry on.

Thou fill’st the circle of the atmosphere

Alone; there is no living thing abroad,

No bird to wing the air, nor beast to walk

The field; the squirrel in the forest seeks

His hollow tree; the marmot of the field
