And hear Il telling 10 the orchard treos,
And 10 the faint and hower-forsaken bees,
Tales of fair meadows, green with constant streams,
And mountains rising blue and cool behind,
Where in moist dells the purple orchs gsams,
And starred with white the virgins bower IN t"heo.
| So the DER wearied pilgrim, a. he fares
Along ifes summer waste, at times IL ianheo,
Even at noontide, by the cool, sweet airs
OF aerener and holer land,

Blow from the eternal illsl-make glad
Our earthly way
