Maxioms by William Cullen Bryant
I gazed upon the glorious sky

When brooks send up a cheerful tune,
And groves a joyous sound,
The sexton's hand, my grave to make,
The rich, green mountain-turf should break.

Their flowery sprays in love;
The ivy climbs the laurel

The rugged trees are mingling
Their flowery sprays in love;
The ivy climbs the laurel
To clasp the boughs above.
