Dewdrops, Nature's tears, which she
Sheds in her own breast for the fair which die.
The sun insists on gladness; but at night,
When he is gone, poor Nature loves to weep.

Or stars of morning, dew-drops which the sun
Impearls on every leaf and every flower.

Impearls on every leaf and every flower.

Every dew-drop and rain-drop had a whole heaven within it.

Dew-drops are the gems of morning,
But the tears of mournful eve!

But the tears of mournful eve!

I must go seek some dewdrops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.
