A sun beam in a winter’s day,
Is all the proud and mighty have
Between the cradle and the grave.

That wings the soul, and points her to the skies.

And in the vale perfumes his wings.

Ever charming, ever new,
When will the landskip tire the view?

Grongar Hill (1727)

Ever charming, ever new,
When will the landscape tire the view?
