| I hear |
| The sound of that advancing multitude |
| Which soon shall fill these deserts: from the ground |
| Comes up the laugh of children, the soft voice |
| O maidens, and the sweet and solemn hymn |
| Of Sabbath worshipers; the low of herds |
| Blends with rustling of the heavy grain |
| Over the dark-brown furrows. |
| Written in 1832 William Cullen Bryant |
