Waters above

Waters above eternal springs!

The dew that sivers the Dove's wings!

O welcome, welcome to the sad!

Give dry dust drink, drink that makes glad!

Many fair ev'nings many flowers

Sweetened with rich and gentle showers,

Have I enjoyed, and down have run

Many a fine and shining Sun;

But never, never, till this happy hour,

Was blest with such an evening shower!
