See how the dewdrops in the morning flowers Stand glistening, brighter than the precious gem Whose worth exalts the kingly diadem! Clear, tiny droplets, which some April showers Born of big, listed clouds, did weep o’er them, In their pure joy that summer’s rosy bowers Were bursting into bloom. Oh! dewdrops pale, How bountiful His hand, who sends the blessing Of your surpassing coolness to th’ oppressing Thirst of the dying flowers, whose juices fail (But for such timely aid) ’neath noontide’s sun. There is no storm-wind with its rushing wail, There is no storm-cloud lowers o’er the vale, But scatters blessings as it passeth on.
