By odours sweet; leaving th' accustomed way,

The valley seek we, where the moonbeams stray,

Like May-flowers newly shed!

The distant streamlets sing

Their vesper hymn.—Is there a voice below

Can give such music, mingled with such woe,

Or can such rapture bring?

In the far wild we hear

That soothing tone its murmurings repeat,

And the more sad, the sweeter, as is meet
