      "Scarce cools me. All is silent, save the faint",
      "And interrupted murmur of the bee,",
      "Settling on the sick flowers, and then again",
      "Instantly on the wing. The plants around",
      "Feel the too potent fervors; the tall maize",
      "Rolls up its long green leaves; the clover droops",
      "Its tender foliage, and declines its blooms.",

      "With all their growth of woods, silent and stern,",
      "As if the scortching heat and dazzling light",
      "Were but an element they loved. Bright clouds,",
      "Motionless pillars of the brazen heaven;--",
      "Their bases on the mountains--their white tops",
      "Shining in the far ether--fire the air",
      "With a reflected radiance, and make turn",
      "The gazer's eye away. For me, I lie",
      "Languidly in the shade, where the thick turf,",
      "Yet virgin from the kisses of the sun,",
      "Retains some freshness, and I woo the wind",

      "He hears me? See, on yonder woody ridge,",
      "The pine is bending his proud top, and now,",
      "Among the nearer groves, chesnut and oak",
      "Are tossing their green boughs about. He comes!",
      "Lo, where the grassy meadow runs in wives!",
      "The deep distressful silence of the scene",
      "Breaks up with mingling of unnumbered sounds",
      "And universal motion. He is come,",
      "Shaking a shower of blossoms from the shrubs,",
      "And bearing on the fragrance; and he brings",
      "Music of birds, and rustling of young boughs,",
      "And soun of swaying branches, and the voice",
      "Of distant waterfalls. All the green herbs",
      "Are stirring in his breath; a thousand flowers,",
      "By the road-side and the borders of the brook,",
      "Nod gaily to each other; glossy leaves",
      "Are twinkling in the sun, as if the dew",
      "Were on them yet, and silver waters break",
      "Into small waves and sparkle as he comes."
