    Through each lonely vale
    It enamours the gale
    As the Summer is spreading before us
    Nor does it grow sear
    When the Autumn is near,
    And the gloom of the grey clouds hang o'er us
    III
    O'er the beauty it has
    How I glory to pause
    While the light of the morn's falling near us
    And when in the shroud
    Of the day - closing cloud
    Like it there is nothing to cheer us
    IV
    As, bright with the dew,
    It appears in our view,
    O where could we look for its marrow
    The lark, on her nest
    Loves to shelter her breast
    With the rich-scented bloom of the yarrow
