Some silent laws our hearts may make,
Which they shall long obey;
We for the year to come may take
Our temper from to-day.


And from the blessed power that rolls
About, below, above;
We'll frame the measure of our souls,
They shall be tuned to love.


Then come, my sister! come, I pray,
With speed put on your woodland dress,
And bring no book; for this one day
We'll give to idleness.
