   No milk-maid singing in the vacant vale,
   No playful children in the street I saw -
   All was silent, solitude and awe.
   The naked walls were sable, black and bare,
   And desolation reigned with terror there;
   Sheep and oxen through the gardens grazed
   Without restraint and wandered where they pleased'
   No dog to bark, no cheerful cock to crow,
   No sound to heal the dismal cloud of woe
   which hung impending o'er my native place
   Where once I lived in tranquil bliss and peace;
   Where once I saw a tender mother's smile,
   Who cherished virtue and detested guile,
   And just father, generous, bold and brave,
   Who spurned the tyrant and the willing slave,
   Many a joyful, happy, festive night
   Beneath their roof my heart leapt light
   A small village ever dear to me,
   I love you still, your beauty yet I see;
   Haunts of my childhood, fair, unfading bowed,
   Where fancy led me in my happy hours;
   Green path of love innocence and truth,
   Where fond affection brought me in my youth.
