daughter of a rough and stormy sire, Hoar Winter's blooming child; delightful Spring! Whose unshorn locks with leaves And swelling buds are crowned; From the green islands of eternal youth,— Crowned with fresh blooms and ever springing shade,— Turn, hither turn thy step, O thou, whose powerful voice More sweet than softest touch of Doric reed, Or Lydian flute, can soothe the madding winds,— And through the stormy deep Breathe thine own tender calm.
