Arising with the morning’s light, + 

Unto the fields she makes her way, + 

And with emotional delight + 

Surveying them, she thus doth say: + 

“Ye peaceful valleys all, good-bye! + 

Ye well-known mountain summits high, + 

Ye groves whose depths I know so well, + 

Thou beauteous sky above, farewell! + 

Delicious nature, thee I fly, + 

The calm existence which I prize + 

I yield for splendid vanities, + 

Thou too farewell, my liberty! + 

Whither and wherefore do I speed + 

And what will Destiny concede?” + 
