Det låg glimtande sken över skvalpande vatten, i den lövskogsbekransade sjön. Det kom doft ifrån klövern på blommande vallar, och från kådiga kottar på granar och tallar, som beskuggade kullarnas krön.- Over the area lay twinkling, star-fair the night. There lay glimmering shine over lapping water, in the forest-enwreathed lake.
