    Delightful place, enchanting scene
    Where'er I walk, where'er I look
    The waving grain, the meadow green
    Fairy dell and murmuring brook
    VI
    The warbling songsters of the grave
    Pour forth their soft melodious lays
    The piping thrush whose notes I love
    Carols with lark its markers praise
    VII
    The bleating sheep and lowing kine
    Browse o'er the fields or seck[?] the shade
    The cuckoo's voice in summer times
    Is heard in grove and grassy glade
    VIII
    The primrose sweet and violet gay
    With glossy leaves bestrew the ground
    The daisy meek with flowers of may
    Bloom forth in beauty all round
