While birds of all music keep amorous tune;
BY the gush Of glad fountains well rest us at eve,
No troubles to vex ue, no sorrows to grieve!

Aud thy life pass away like some delicate dream.
Each wish Of Thy heart should realized be,
And this beautiful land st elm all Eden TO thee
Then ccme 10 The South the shrine of the sun,
