text:  Embathed in beauty pass'd before my sight Like blossoms that with sunlight shut and ope The half-lost dreams of many a holiday In boyhood spent on that blue river side With those whose names even now as alien sounds Ring in the ear though then our cordial arms Enwreathed each other's necks while on we roam'd Singing or silent pranksome never at rest As life were but a jocund pilgrimage Whose pleasant wanderings found a goal in heaven
