And close their crystal veins,
In such a sultry summer noon as this,

Dost thou wail
And those whom thou wouldst gladly see

That fairy music I never hear, And the fresh virgin soil poured forth strange flowers
And leap in freedom from his prison-place,
And the hills that lift thy harvests and vineyards to the sun,
Of herbs that line thy oozy banks;
Dark in its summer growth, and shook its leaves
