How bland and sweet the greeting of this breeze	A
To him who flies	B
From crowded street and red wall's weary gleam	C
Till far behind him like a hideous dream	C
The close dark city lies	B
Here while the market murmurs while men throng	D
The marble floor	E
Of Mammon's altar from the crush and din	F
Of the world's madness let me gather in	F
My better thoughts once more	E
	-
Oh once again revive while on my ear	G
The cry of Gain	H
And low hoarse hum of Traffic die away	I
Ye blessed memories of my early day	I
Like sere grass wet with rain	H
	-
Once more let God's green earth and sunset air	J
Old feelings waken	K
Through weary years of toil and strife and ill	L
Oh let me feel that my good angel still	L
Hath not his trust forsaken	K
	-
And well do time and place befit my mood	M
Beneath the arms	N
Of this embracing wood a good man made	O
His home like Abraham resting in the shade	O
Of Mamre's lonely palms	P
	-
Here rich with autumn gifts of countless years	Q
The virgin soil	R
Turned from the share he guided and in rain	H
And summer sunshine throve the fruits and grain	H
Which blessed his honest toil	R
	-
Here from his voyages on the stormy seas	A
Weary and worn	S
He came to meet his children and to bless	T
The Giver of all good in thankfulness	T
And praise for his return	U
	-
And here his neighbors gathered in to greet	V
Their friend again	W
Safe from the wave and the destroying gales	T
Which reap untimely green Bermuda's vales	T
And vex the Carib main	H
	-
To hear the good man tell of simple truth	X
Sown in an hour	Y
Of weakness in some far off Indian isle	Z
From the parched bosom of a barren soil	R
Raised up in life and power	Y
	-
How at those gatherings in Barbadian vales	T
A tendering love	A2
Came o'er him like the gentle rain from heaven	K
And words of fitness to his lips were given	K
And strength as from above	A2
	-
How the sad captive listened to the Word	B2
Until his chain	H
Grew lighter and his wounded spirit felt	C2
The healing balm of consolation melt	C2
Upon its life long pain	H
	-
How the armed warrior sat him down to hear	G
Of Peace and Truth	X
And the proud ruler and his Creole dame	D2
Jewelled and gorgeous in her beauty came	D2
And fair and bright eyed youth	X
	-
Oh far away beneath New England's sky	E2
Even when a boy	F2
Following my plough by Merrimac's green shore	E
His simple record I have pondered o'er	Y
With deep and quiet joy	F2
	-
And hence this scene in sunset glory warm	G2
Its woods around	H2
Its still stream winding on in light and shade	O
Its soft green meadows and its upland glade	O
To me is holy ground	H2
	-
And dearer far than haunts where Genius keeps	T
His vigils still	L
Than that where Avon's son of song is laid	O
Or Vaucluse hallowed by its Petrarch's shade	O
Or Virgil's laurelled hill	L
	-
To the gray walls of fallen Paraclete	O
To Juliet's urn	U
Fair Arno and Sorrento's orange grove	I2
Where Tasso sang let young Romance and Love	A2
Like brother pilgrims turn	U
	-
But here a deeper and serener charm	J2
To all is given	K
And blessed memories of the faithful dead	O
O'er wood and vale and meadow stream have shed	O
The holy hues of Heaven	K
