Excerpt from The Annals and Magazine of Natural History: Including Zoology, Botany, and Geology The sylvan powers Obey our summons; from their deepest dells The Dryads come, and throw their garlands Wild And odorous branches at our feet the N ymphs That press With nimble step the mountain-thyme And purple heath-flower come not empty-handed, But scatter round ten thousand forms minute Of velvet moss or lichen, torn from rock Or rifted oak or cavern deep: the Naiads too Quit their loved native stream, from whose smooth face They crop the lily, and each sedge and rush That drinks the rippling tide: the frozen poles, Where peril waits the bold adventurer's tread, The burning sands of Borneo and Cayenne, A11, all to us unlock their secret stores And pay their cheerful tribute.
