While from the singing lark, that sings unseen

The minstrelsy that solitude loves best,

And from the sun, and from the breezy air,

Sweet influences trembled o'er his frame,

And he with many feelings, many thoughts,

Made up a meditative joy, and found

Religious musings in the forms of nature!

And so, his senses gradually wrapped

In a half-sleep, he dreams of better worlds,

And dreaming hears thee still, O singing lark,
