Sleep that wakes in laughing day,
Health that mocks the Doctors rules,

Of the wild bees morning chase,
OF the wild flowers time and place,
How the tortoise bears his shell,
How the Woodchuck digs his cell.
How the robin feeds her young,
How the orioles nest is hung,
Where the whitest lilies blow,
Where the freshest berries grow;
Where the ground-nut trails its vine,
Where the woOd-grape's cluster shine,
