The valley rings with mirth and joy; / Among the hills the Echoes play / A never never ending song / To welcome in the May.

The Magpie chatters with delight; / The mountain Raven's youngling Brood / Have left the Mother and the Nest; / And they go rambling east and west / In search of their own food; / Or through the glittering Vapors dart / In very wantonness of heart.
