And wakes the morning, from whose silver breast
The sun ariseth in his majesty;
Who doth the world so gloriously behold
That cedar tops and hills seem burnished gold.

Amid the dawning clouds, and from their haunts
Calls up the tuneful nations.

And singing startle the dull Night,
From his watch-tower in the skies,
Till the dappled dawn doth rise.
