THE AGED BAED S WISH.
IV.
Around the valley's lofty brow
Be blooming, bending trees inwove ;
And warblers sing from many a bough,
While rocks repeat their songs of love.
From out the ivy-cover'd rock
Shall new-born waters gurgling glide ;
And sweet-toned Echo oft invoke
The music of the constant tide.
VI.
May voice of hills and rocks prolong
The joyous herds' endearing sound.
Then shall awaken, far and long,
Their thousand lowings all around.
VII.
May sporting fawns be in my sight,
By flowing stream or mountain breast ;
The wearied kid, in mute delight
And innocence, beside me rest.
