Summary
A modest Mansion, with its garden ground,
Where the blithe bee pursues his gladsome chase;
An undulating lawn, where Art's mild grace.
Is rustic Nature's willing handmaid found;
Fair slopes, and swelling uplands, cloth’d and crown’d
With trees, whose young boughs fondly interlace
Their varied foliage;—such the charms I trace
In the familiar landscape smiling round.—
Yet, fair as is the scene, its height’ning zest,
To me, is not from outward features caught,
But from bright hours with social converse fraught,
When oft, beneath that roof a well pleas’d guest,
Pleasure on winged moments has imprest
The prouder stamp of fancy, feeling, thought.
