An HYMN to the MORNING. I. SEE the lovely Morning rise, See her Glories paint the Skies, Half o'er the reviving Globe Gaily spreads her Saffron Robe: See the Hills with Flowers crown'd, And the Valleys laughing round. II. Mira to Aurora sings, While the Lark exulting springs High in Air — and tunes her Throat To a soft and merry Note; The Goldfinch and the Linnet join: Hail Aurora, Nymph divine. III. See Clione's gilded Car, See it blazes from afar; Here the fair One bends her Way, Balmy Zephyrs round her play; Now she lights upon the Vale, Fond to meet the western Gale. IV. May this artless Praise be thine, Soft Clione half divine. See her snowy Hand she waves, Silent stand her waiting Slaves; And while they guard the Silver Reins, She wanders lonely o'er the Plains. V. See those Cheeks of beauteous Dye, Lovely as the dawning Sky, Innocence that ne'er beguiles Lips that wear eternal Smiles: Beauties to the rest unknown, Shine in her and her alone. VI. Now the Rivers smoother flow, Now the op'ning Roses glow, The Woodbine twines her odorous Charms Round the Oaks supporting Arms: Lilies paint the dewy Ground, And Ambrosia breathes around. VII. Come, ye Gales that fan the Spring; Zephyr, with thy downy Wing, Gently waft to Mira's Breast Health, Content, and balmy Rest. Far, O far from hence remain Sorrow, Care, and sickly Pain. VIII. Thus sung Mira to her Lyre, Till the idle Numbers tire: Ah! Sappho sweeter sings, I cry, And the spiteful Rocks reply, (Responsive to the jarring Strings) Sweeter — Sappho sweeter sings.
