| - | |
| Stranger mark this lovely scene | B |
| When the evening sets serene | B |
| And starting o'er the silent wood | C |
| The last pale sunshine streaks the flood | D |
| And the water gushing near | E |
| Soothes with ceaseless drip thine ear | F |
| Then bid each passion sink to rest | G |
| Should ev'n one wish rise in thy breast | G |
| One tender wish as now in mine | H |
| That some such quiet spot were thine | H |
| And thou recalling seasons fled | I |
| Couldst wake the slumbers of the dead | I |
| And bring back her you loved to share | J |
| With thee calm peace and comfort there | J |
| Oh check the thought but inly pray | K |
| To HE 'who gives and takes away ' | - |
| That many years this fair domain | L |
| Its varied beauties may retain | L |
| So when some wanderer who has lost | M |
| His heart's best treasure who has crossed | M |
| In life bleak hills and passes rude | N |
| Should gain this lovely solitude | N |
| Delighted he may pause a while | O |
| And when he marks the landscape smile | O |
| Leave with its willows ere he part | P |
| The blessings of a softened heart | P |
