“When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy, / And the dimpling stream runs laughing by; / When the air does laugh with our merry wit, / And the green hill laughs with the noise of it.”

“Can I see another’s woe, / And not be in sorrow too? / Can I see another’s grief, / And not seek for kind relief?”

“'I have no name; / I am but two days old.' / What shall I call thee? / 'I happy am, / Joy is my name.' / Sweet joy befall thee!”
