that the very smell of the first springing leaves of this

0 ! come to the meadows, the meadows are gay, 
The green grass is springing, the lambs are at play; 
To a zephyr the rude blast has sunk, and its sigh 
Has awaken’d the daisy to gaze on the sky: 
Earth smileth in gladness, 
And sorrow and sadness 
Have fled with dark winter,—away then, away ! 
O ! come to the glen, where the bright silver rill, 
Like a newly freed captive, is roaming at will; 
Uncertain alike both its mood and its course, 
Now softly ’tis singing, now murmuring hoarse; 
Now winding in error, 
Now calm as a mirror 
For Fay or for Dryad, it rests and is still.
