    Hark! ah, the nightingale--
    The tawny-throated!
    Hark from that moonlit cedar what a burst!
    What triumph! hark!--what pain!
    . . . .
    Again--thou hearest?
    Eternal passion!
    Eternal pain!

Sweet bird, that sing'st away the early hours,
Of winter's past or coming void of care,

Sweet bird, that sing'st away the early hours,
Of winter's past or coming void of care,
Well pleased with delights which present are,
Fair seasons, budding sprays, sweet-smelling flowers.

For as nightingales do upon glow-worms feed,
So poets live upon the living light.

Soft as Memnon's harp at morning,
To the inward ear devout,
Touched by light, with heavenly warning
Your transporting chords ring out.
Every leaf in every nook,
Every wave in every brook,
Chanting with a solemn voice
Minds us of our better choice.

The nightingale appear'd the first,
And as her melody she sang,
The apple into blossom burst,
To life the grass and violets sprang.

Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades
Past the near meadows, over the still stream,
Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep
In the next valley-glades:
Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
Fled is that music:--do I wake or sleep?

As it fell upon a day
In the merry month of May,
Sitting in a pleasant shade
Which a grove of myrtles made.

The crow doth sing as sweetly as the lark
When neither is attended; and I think
The nightingale, if she should sing by day
When every goose is cackling, would be thought
No better a musician than the wren.
How many thing by season seasoned are
To their right praise and true perfection!

Thy liquid notes that close the eye of day
First heard before the shallow cuckoo's bill,
Portend success in love.
