Delight is seen

Go where I will naught but delight is seen
The blue & luscious sky is one broad gleam
Of universal ecstasy the green
Rich sweeping meadows & the laughing stream
As sweet as happiness on heavens breast
Lie listening to the never ceasing song
That day or night neer wearies into rest
But hums unceasingly the summer long
The very grass to musics rapture stirred
Dances before the breezes wanton wing
While every bush stirs with a startled bird
Who eager wakes morns dewy praise to sing
