Revives the heart, like as at evening time

We love to listen to the tinkling chime

Of sheep-bells far away.

And, lo! the rustic cot,

On the smooth margin of the quiet lake,

Where wedded Love and pleased Content partake

Their enviable lot:

Where, daylong, may be seen

Two sister swans, disporting in their joy;

The happy parents, with their baby-boy,
