   In the deep solitude
   Of the lonely green-wood
   How sweetly its petals are peering;
   And low in the fen
   Of the dark highland glen,
   The path of the brown bee its cheering

   We may find it afar,
   In the gully and gorge of the mountain
   And by the clear stream,
   Where the fairy elves - dream,
   That joy in the song - raising fountain.

   O'er the unlettered graves
   Where the poor of the village are sleeping
   And by the wayside
   It delighteth to bide
   And cheer up the weary and weeping
