Through the vales the breezes sigh; Twilight opes her bashful eye, Peeping from the east, she brings Dew-drops on her dusky wings: And the lark, with wak’ning lay, Upsprings, the harbinger of day. Now behold! the blushing sky Tells the bridegroom sun is nigh; Nature tunes her joyful lyre, And the trembling stars retire, Him the east, in crimson drest, Ushers, nature’s welcome guest, And the mountains of the west Seem to lift their azure heads, Jealous of the smile he sheds. Glory, beaming from on high, Charms devotion’s lifted eye; Bliss, to which sluggards ne’er were born, Waits the attendant of the morn.
