The bird did prance - the bee did play

The Bird did prance - the Bee did play -
The Sun ran miles away
So blind with joy he could not choose between[^a1]
Betweenthe his Holiday -

[^a1: choose between | choose]

The morn was up - the meadows out
The Fences all but ran -
Republic of Delight, I thought
Where each is Citizen -

From Heavy ladenClimes Lands to thee
Were seas to cross to come
A Caspian were crowded -
Tooclose near thou art for Fame -
