"Hail, beauteous stranger of the wood, 
Attendant on the spring ! 
Now heaven repairs thy vernal seat, 
And woods thy welcome ring." 
"Soon as the daisy decks the green 
Thy certain voice we hear; 
Hast thou a star to guide thy path, 
Or mark the rolling year !" 
"Sweet bird, thy bower is ever green, 
Thy sky is ever clear; 
Thou hast no sorrow in thy song, 
No winter in thy year !"
