Poem by George Darley

Lenimina Laborum. 24. O'er the valley, o'er the mountain!

O'er the valley, o'er the mountain!
By the pathway of the foam
Leading down from yonder fountain,—
Like a honey-bird, I roam!

Tlu'o' the wild wood and the hower,
Like the golden-coated fly
Kissing ev'ry lady-flower,
As I pass her beauty by;

Tripping round and round the blossoms
That bespeek the grassy steep,
Into all their rosy bosoms
As I run away, I peep!

O'er the meadows gaily winging
Like an idle elf I rove,
My unheeded song a-singing
To the melody I love!
