From brightening fields of ether fair disclosed	A
Child of the Sun refulgent Summer comes	B
In pride of youth and felt through Nature's depth	C
He comes attended by the sultry Hours	D
And ever fanning breezes on his way	E
While from his ardent look the turning Spring	F
Averts her blushful face and earth and skies	G
All smiling to his hot dominion leaves	H
Hence let me haste into the mid wood shade	I
Where scarce a sunbeam wanders through the gloom	J
And on the dark green grass beside the brink	K
Of haunted stream that by the roots of oak	L
Rolls o'er the rocky channel lie at large	M
And sing the glories of the circling year	N
Come Inspiration from thy hermit seat	O
By mortal seldom found may Fancy dare	P
From thy fix'd serious eye and raptured glance	Q
Shot on surrounding Heaven to steal one look	R
Creative of the Poet every power	S
Exalting to an ecstasy of soul	T
And thou my youthful Muse's early friend	U
In whom the human graces all unite	V
Pure light of mind and tenderness of heart	W
Genius and wisdom the gay social sense	X
By decency chastised goodness and wit	Y
In seldom meeting harmony combined	Z
Unblemish'd honour and an active zeal	A2
For Britain's glory liberty and Man	B2
O Dodington attend my rural song	C2
Stoop to my theme inspirit every line	D2
And teach me to deserve thy just applause	E2
With what an awful world revolving power	S
Were first the unwieldy planets launch'd along	C2
The illimitable void thus to remain	F2
Amid the flux of many thousand years	G2
That oft has swept the toiling race of men	H2
And all their labour'd monuments away	E
Firm unremitting matchless in their course	I2
To the kind temper'd change of night and day	E
And of the seasons ever stealing round	J2
Minutely faithful such the All perfect hand	K2
That poised impels and rules the steady whole	T
When now no more the alternate Twins are fired	L2
And Cancer reddens with the solar blaze	M2
Short is the doubtful empire of the night	V
And soon observant of approaching day	E
The meek'd eyed Morn appears mother of dews	N2
At first faint gleaming in the dappled east	O2
Till far o'er ether spreads the widening glow	P2
And from before the lustre of her face	Q2
White break the clouds away With quicken'd step	R2
Brown Night retires young Day pours in apace	Q2
And opens all the lawny prospect wide	S2
The dripping rock the mountain's misty top	T2
Swell on the sight and brighten with the dawn	U2
Blue through the dusk the smoking currents shine	D2
And from the bladed field the fearful hare	P
Limps awkward while along the forest glade	I
The wild deer trip and often turning gaze	M2
At early passenger Music awakes	M2
The native voice of undissembled joy	V2
And thick around the woodland hymns arise	M2
Roused by the cock the soon clad shepherd leaves	M2
His mossy cottage where with Peace he dwells	M2
And from the crowded fold in order drives	M2
His flock to taste the verdure of the morn	W2
Falsely luxurious will not Man awake	X2
And springing from the bed of sloth enjoy	V2
The cool the fragrant and the silent hour	S
To meditation due and sacred song	C2
For is there ought in sleep can charm the wise	M2
To lie in dead oblivion losing half	Y2
The fleeting moments of too short a life	Z2
Total extinction of the enlightened soul	T
Or else to feverish vanity alive	A3
Wilder'd and tossing through distemper'd dreams	M2
Who would in such a gloomy state remain	F2
Longer than Nature craves when every Muse	M2
And every blooming pleasure wait without	B3
To bless the wildly devious morning walk	C3
But yonder comes the powerful King of Day	E
Rejoicing in the east The lessening cloud	D3
The kindling azure and the mountain's brow	E3
Illumed with fluid gold his near approach	F3
Betoken glad Lo now apparent all	G3
Aslant the dew bright earth and colour'd air	P
He looks in boundless majesty abroad	H3
And sheds the shining day that burnish'd plays	M2
On rocks and hills and towers and wandering streams	M2
High gleaming from afar Prime cheerer Light	V
Of all material beings first and best	I3
Efflux divine Nature's resplendent robe	J3
Without whose vesting beauty all were wrapt	I3
In unessential gloom and thou O Sun	K3
Soul of surrounding worlds in whom best seen	L3
Shines out thy Maker may I sing of thee	M3
'Tis by thy secret strong attractive force	M2
As with a chain indissoluble bound	I3
Thy system rolls entire from the far bourne	W2
Of utmost Saturn wheeling wide his round	I3
Of thirty years to Mercury whose disk	N3
Can scarce be caught by philosophic eye	O3
Lost in the near effulgence of thy blaze	M2
Informer of the planetary train	F2
Without whose quickening glance their cumbrous orbs	M2
Were brute unlovely mass inert and dead	I3
And not as now the green abodes of life	Z2
How many forms of being wait on thee	M3
Inhaling spirit from the unfetter'd mind	I3
By thee sublimed down to the daily race	M2
The mixing myriads of thy setting beam	P3
The vegetable world is also thine	D2
Parent of Seasons who the pomp precede	I3
That waits thy throne as through thy vast domain	F2
Annual along the bright ecliptic road	I3
In world rejoicing state it moves sublime	Q3
Meantime the expecting nations circled gay	E
With all the various tribes of foodful earth	R3
Implore thy bounty or send grateful up	S3
A common hymn while round thy beaming car	T3
High seen the Seasons lead in sprightly dance	M2
Harmonious knit the rosy finger'd Hours	M2
The Zephyrs floating loose the timely Rains	M2
Of bloom ethereal the light footed Dews	M2
And softened into joy the surly Storms	M2
These in successive turn with lavish hand	I3
Shower every beauty every fragrance shower	S
Herbs flowers and fruits and kindling at thy touch	U3
From land to land is flush'd the vernal year	N
Nor to the surface of enliven'd earth	R3
Graceful with hills and dales and leafy woods	M2
Her liberal tresses is thy force confined	I3
But to the bowel'd cavern darting deep	V3
The mineral kinds confess thy mighty power	S
Effulgent hence the veiny marble shines	M2
Hence Labour draws his tools hence burnish'd War	W3
Gleams on the day the nobler works of Peace	M2
Hence bless mankind and generous Commerce binds	M2
The round of nations in a golden chain	F2
The unfruitful rock itself impregn'd by thee	M3
In dark retirement forms the lucid stone	X3
The lively diamond drinks thy purest rays	M2
Collected light compact that polish'd bright	I3
And all its native lustre let abroad	I3
Dares as it sparkles on the fair one's breast	I3
With vain ambition emulate her eyes	M2
At thee the ruby lights its deepening glow	P2
And with a waving radiance inward flames	M2
From thee the sapphire solid ether takes	M2
Its hue cerulean and of evening tinct	I3
The purple streaming amethyst is thine	D2
With thy own smile the yellow topaz burns	M2
Nor deeper verdure dyes the robe of Spring	F
When first she gives it to the southern gale	Y3
Than the green emerald shows But all combined	I3
Thick through the whitening opal play thy beams	M2
Or flying several from its surface form	Z3
A trembling variance of revolving hues	M2
As the site varies in the gazer's hand	I3
The very dead creation from thy touch	U3
Assumes a mimic life By thee refined	I3
In brighter mazes the relucent stream	P3
Plays o'er the mead The precipice abrupt	I3
Projecting horror on the blacken'd flood	I3
Softens at thy return The desert joys	M2
Wildly through all his melancholy bounds	M2
Rude ruins glitter and the briny deep	V3
Seen from some pointed promontory's top	T2
Far to the blue horizon's utmost verge	A4
Restless reflects a floating gleam But this	M2
And all the much transported Muse can sing	F
Are to thy beauty dignity and use	M2
Unequal far great delegated source	M2
Of light and life and grace and joy below	P2
How shall I then attempt to sing of Him	B4
Who Light Himself in uncreated light	I3
Invested deep dwells awfully retired	I3
From mortal eye or angel's purer ken	H2
Whose single sm	B4
