O peace, the fairest child of heaven -- A youth adorn'd with ev'ry art -- Hear Alfred father of the state -- The shepherd's plain life -- Ye woods and ye mountains unknown -- In cooling stream -- Ode by a spirit [From those eternal regions bright] -- Arise sweet messenger of morn -- Swell the trumpet -- At last our night is past -- We've fought, we have conquer'd.
