XXXVIII.

But who the melodies of morn can tell?

The wild brook babbling down the mountain side;

The lowing herd; the sheepfold's simple bell;

The pipe of early shepherd, dim descried

In the lone valley; echoing far and wide,

The clamorous horn, along the cliffs above;

The hollow murmur of the ocean-tide;

The hum of bees, and linnet's lay of love,

And the full choir that wakes the universal grove.
