Come o'er the eastern hills, and let our winds Kiss thy perfumed garments; let us taste Thy morn and evening breath; scatter thy pearls Upon our love-sick land that mourns for thee.

And all you behold, though it appears without,
It is within, in your imagination,
Of which this world of mortality is but a shadow.
