THE GARDENER OF THE HALL

I of other living things than grew and flourished the
Beneath the happy shelter of
The Old Manorial Hall.

At first She came, a rosy child, a Queen among my flowers,
And play'd beside me while I toil'd, and prattled on for hours :
And many a morning, in the plot of ground she call'd her own,
She found an unexpected show of blossoms freshly blown,

And sent her merry echoes through
The Old Manorial Hall.

Thus eighteen summers, every day, I tended her and them ;
I watch'd the opening of the bud—the shooting of the stem ;
And when her childly laughter turn'd to silent maiden smiles,
I felt in heaven whene'er she pass'd, and scarce on earth the
whiles :

How could I ever think to leave
The Old Manorial Hall?

One day, when Autumn's last delights were nipp'd by early

cold,

It felt like death upon my ear, that she was bought and sold!
That some rich lord, she hardly knew, had come to bear away
The pride of all the country round—the poor man's hope and

The glory and the darling of
The Old Manorial Hall.

1 heard her plight to him the troth she could not understand,
I saw her, weeping, turn away, and wave her parting hand :
And from that hour nothing on earth has gone with me but

wrong,

For soonl-left the garden, and the home I loved so long,—
It was a haunted house to me,
That Old Manorial Hall !

And now I wander up and down—l labour as I can,
Without a wish for friend or rest—a weary-hearted man ;
Yet, at the bottom of my thoughts the saddest lies, that She,
With all her wealth and noble state, may none the happier be,
Than I, the poor old Gardener of
The Old Manorial Hall !
