First line:
It is day-break, day-break in the perfumed and velvet-cushioned hall of royalty, and in the cheerless hovel of poverty; in the still chamber of pallid, motionless death, and in the bower of the blushing, palpitating young bride; on the free breezy summit of the snow-capped mountain, and in the narrow cell of the captive, whre the intercepted light scarcely penetrates the close-fitted bars; in the shadowy aisle of the sanctuary, and in the unhallowed abode of vice and riot; on the wide plains of the heaving ocean, and in the green cattle-sprinkled meadows.
