ONE DAY.
293



The sunshine of the morning
    Is abroad upon the hills,
With the singing of the green-wood leaves,
    And of a thousand rills.
There springs the youthful hunter
    With his winged spear and bow,
He hath the falcon's flashing eye,
    The fleet foot of the roe.
He goes with a light carol,
    And his own heart is as light;
On, on he bounds from rock to rock,
    Rejoicing in his might.

The sunshine of the morning
    Is abroad upon yon fane,
There, mid his country's monuments,
    Dreams the young bard his strain.
