Original text and translations

English text

Sweet stream, that winds thro' yonder glade,
Apt emblem of a virtuous maid;
Silent and pure she glides along,
Far from the world's gay busy throng:
With gentle yet prevailing force,
Intent upon her destin'd course;
Graces attend on all she does,
Blessing and blest where'er she goes.
