Now the unsullied stream, from April show'rs
Refin'd, each sparkling pebble shows, that decks
Its botrom, and each scaly habitant
Quick glancing in the shallows, or, in quest
Of plunder, slowly sailing in the deep.

tailing at Intervals upon the ear
In cadence sweet, now dying all away,
Now pealing loud again, and louder still,

High rides the moon amid the fleecy clouds,
That glisren, as they float athwart her disk.
Sweet is the glimpse that,for a moment, plays
Among these mould'ring vinnacles. But, hark

Entwin'd, hung at some lofty window, hops

For human fellowship, as being void

To love and friendship both, that is not pleas'd
