Arabian sweets perfume the happy plains;
Above, beneath, around, enchantment reigns!
While glowing vesper leads the starry train,
And night slow draws her veil o’er land and main,
Emerging clouds the azure east invade,
And wrap the lucid spheres in gradual shade;
While yet the songsters of the vocal grove,
With dying numbers tune the soul to love:
With joyful eyes th’ attentive master sees
Th’ auspicious omens of an eastern breeze.
