Incarnated

When the moist and balmy gale

Round the verdant meadow sights, 

Odours sweet in misty veil

At the twilight-hour arise

Murmurings soft of calm repose



Rock the heart to child-like rest, 

And the day's bright portals close

On the eyes with toil oppressed

Night already reigns over all



Strangely star linked to star

Planets, mighty sparkling small

Glitter near and gleam afar

Gleam above in clearer night



Glitter in the glassy sea

Pledging pure and calm delight

Rules the moon in majesty

Now each well known hour is over



Trust the newborn eye of day

Vales grow verdant, hillocks teem

Shady nooks the bushes yield and with waving silvery gleam

Wouldst thou wish for wish obtain



Cast the shell of sleep away

Tarry not, but be thou bold

When the many loiter still

All with ease may be controlled
