They liii their dewy buds and bells,
In garden, mead and field:
They Turk in every sunless path,
Where forest children tread;

They sport with every playful wind

And laugh at every fragrant bush.

From til. green nar.e OF lake and stream,

They look in gentle glory forth

In summers golden prime,
And to the stricken world give back
