    As when the dove returning bore the mark
    Of earth restored to the long labouring ark;
    The relics of mankind, secure at rest,
    Open every window to receive the guest,
    And the fair bearer of the message bless'd.

I heard a Stock-dove sing or say
His homely tale, this very day;
His voice was buried among trees,
Yet to be come at by the breeze:
He did not cease; but cooed--and cooed:
And somewhat pensively he wooed:
He sang of love, with quiet blending,
Slow to begin, and never ending;
Of serious faith, and inward glee;
That was the song,--the song for me!

When thro' the clouds he drives the trembling doves.
