Where all the day the shines fair
And only softest zephyrs blow.
The winding pathways cross the turf

Under the low arChed chestnut trees
And elms that throng the quiet glade
Sometimes the gayest sOngbirds sing.
And roses scent the balmy air,
And / would give my hope OF Heav'n
To enter and to linger there.
Out in the noisy street I fare,
With all It's dust and hideOus cries,
Lonely, and shaving at my task
