The sylvan powers 



Obey our summons ; from their deepest dells 



The Dryads eome, and throw their garlands wild 



And odorous branches at our feet ; the Nym))hs 



That press with nimble step the mountain-thyme 



And purple he-ath-flower come not enij)ty-handed, 



But scatter round ten thousand forms minute 



Of velvet moss or lichen, torn from rock 



Or rifted oak or cavern deep : the Xaiads too 



Quit their loved native stream, from whose smooth face 



They crop the lily, and each sedge and rush 



That drinks the rippling tide: the frozen poles, 



Where peril waits the bold adventurer's tread, 



The burning sands of Borneo and Cayenne, 



All, all to us unlock their .secret stores 



And pay their cheerfid tribute. 



J. T.WLOR, Nomnch, 1818.
