Each hill, each dale, each plain and field,
And nature round him burua.

The birds they fi.nfe, a happy race ;
And fl >wers begin to blow,
The woods -esrtnd their fragrant (hades ;
Ttich verdure robes the wat’ry glades j
And pregnant fallows glow.
And {hall 1 ? whilfr mure things arife,

And made the living Ipring.
