   And here stood the cottage where joyance resided,
   It's windows half seen thro the trees in a row,
   Along its thatched eaves the big showerdrops glided,
   Quick pattering on the broad burdocks below.
   The streamlet in June lost in winding meanders,
   That loud thro' the winter would thundering foam,
   Where dreaming awake in the twilight I've wandered,
   When summer surrounded my once happy home.

   There once bloom'd the garden with boortrees surrounded,
   And there was the well with it's streamlet so clear.
   The hawthorn stood there with green benches around it -
   The haunt of the cuckoo when summer was near.
   The weed-fringed pathway you upland ascending,
   Where evening hath often involv'd me in gloom,
   Observing the hills with the dark vaproars blending, And white masts surrounding my once happy home.
   V.
   Conceal'd in the shade of these tall, waving rushes,
   O'er Thompson and Goldsmith I've poured with delight,
   Or to a proud father among the furze bushes,
   My first simple verses from memory recite,
   Oft since in my dreams, when at distance I wander,
   These scenes to my lone heart at midnight will come,
   And features long wasted the great head-stone under,
   Salute me again in my once happy home.
