Beneath the woody shade, Where the bright sunbeams staid, By foliage deep The shadows sleep, Like heavenly visions laid, To rest by some bright arch Of apple scented larch, Whose ruby tufts, and dazzling green Gladden the woodland scene; There do happy wood nymphs sing Their merry Hymn to the glad spring.
O blue-eyed daughters of the North, Rejoice, rejoice, be cometh forth From out his icy tomb, Arrayed in joy and bloom, Like a pure spirit from the lowly dust, All glorious into life and beauty burst, Sending to heaven his fragrant sighs in praise.
