A sudden splendour seemed to kindle day
A breeze came breathing in a sweet perfume
Blown from eternal gardens, filled the room.

Additional quotes by Thomas Parnell

A fresher green the smelling leaves display And glittering as they tremble, cheer the day.

We call it only pretty Fanny's way.

Let those love now who never loved before;
Let those who always loved, now love the more.
