    3rd Stanza
    Oh then I longed like 'prisoned bird
    To 'scape captivity
    I could not bear to be immured
    When they were lost to me
    I longed to tread my native hills
    Where healthful breezes blew
    And cool my lip at their bright rills
    As I was wont to do.
    4th Stanza
    I cam again, but soon I grew
    Full sick of home as well,
    The friends in early life I knew
    By hillside green and dell
    Alas were gone, that cherished spot
    Was now one dreary waste,
    And then methought it mattered not
    Where ever I was placed.
