         “Herre min Gud hvad din Månen lyser
         Se, hvilken Glands ut ofver Land och Stad!”

is now sung, and we see:

         “Högt opp i Slottet hvarenda ruta
         Blixtrar some vore den en ädelsten.”[1]

Up thither then is our way! lead us, memory’s
sprite, into the palace, the courteous governor of
Upland’s dwelling; mild glances greet us; we
see dear beings in a happy circle, and all the
leading characters of Upsala. We again see
him whose cunning quickened our perceptions
as to the mysteries of vegetable life, so that
even the toad-stool is unveiled to us as a
building more artfully constructed than the
labyrinths of the olden time. We see "The
Flowers’" singer, he who led us to "The
Island of Bliss;" we meet with him whose
popular lays are borne on melodies into the
world; his wife by his side. That quiet,




[1] Lord, my God, how Thy moon shines!
See what lustre over land and city!
High up in the palace every pane
glistens as if it were a gem.
