If aught of oaten stop or pastoral songA
May hope chaste Eve to soothe thy modest earB
Like thy own solemn springsC
Thy springs and dying galesD
O nymph reserved while now the bright haired sunE
Sits in yon western tent whose cloudy skirtsF
With brede ethereal woveG
O'erhang his wavy bedH
-
Now air is hushed save where the weak eyed batI
With short shrill shriek flits by on leathern wingJ
Or where the beetle windsK
His small but sullen hornL
As oft he rises 'midst the twilight pathM
Against the pilgrim borne in heedless humN
Now teach me maid composedO
To breathe some softened strainP
Whose numbers stealing through thy dark'ning valeQ
May not unseemly with its stillness suitR
As musing slow I hailQ
Thy genial loved returnS
-
For when thy folding star arising showsT
His paly circlet at his warning lampU
The fragrant hours and elvesV
Who slept in buds the dayW
And many a nymph who wreathes her brows with sedgeX
And sheds the fresh'ning dew and lovelier stillY
The pensive pleasures sweetZ
Prepare thy shadowy carA2
-
Then let me rove some wild and heathy sceneB2
Or find some ruin 'midst its dreary dellsV
Whose walls more awful nodC2
By thy religious gleamsV
Or if chill blust'ring winds or driving rainP
Prevent my willing feet be mine the hutD2
That from the mountain's sideE2
Views wilds and swelling floodsV
And hamlets brown and dim discovered spiresV
And hears their simple bell and marks o'er allF2
Thy dewy fingers drawG2
The gradual dusky veilQ
-
While Spring shall pour his showers as oft he wontH2
And bathe thy breathing tresses meekest EveI2
While Summer loves to sportJ2
Beneath thy lingering lightK2
While sallow Autumn fills thy lap with leavesV
Or Winter yelling through the troublous airL2
Affrights thy shrinking trainP
And rudely rends thy robesV
So long regardful of thy quiet ruleM2
Shall fancy friendship science smiling peaceV
Thy gentlest influence ownN2
And love thy favourite nameO2
