Oft let me wander, at the break of day,
Thro the cool vale o'erhung with waving woods;
Drink the rich fragrance of the budding May,
and catch the murmur of the distant floods,
Or rest on the fresh bank of limpid rill,
Where sleeps the violet in the dewy shade,
Where opening lilies balmy sweets distill,
And the wild musk-rose weeps along the glade,
