   The lofty trees spread all around
   Or bend in silence to the ground
   Where the loveliest flowers are found,
   The joy of every lover;
   O'er the carpet of the leaves
   The wind at even sweetly grieves,
   And young Fancy ever weaves
   Its spell around the rover.

   I may wander far and wide,
   Where mountains soar and rivers glide,
   yet I'll turn with joy and pride
   To this dell of splendour.
   Dear friends may smile no more on me,
   Yet this Eden I will see
   In the light of memory
   Enchanting, bright and tender.
