OH! tell me, Cambrians, tell me true,
Does fair Hygeia 'bide with you ?
"Yes, she with us for ever dwells,
In groves, in shady woods, or dells.
Oh! stranger, turn and stay -- for here
She deigns to give her influence dear.
In yonder vale her temple stands;
Her brows entwined with roseate bands
In Cambria's land she ever dwells,
In groves, in shady woods, or dells."
