Down in pleasant little vale.
A gushing spring know,
Whose silvcry stream in summers drought.
Has never ceased to flow.
The flocks and herds arc seldom seen
To seek this narrow vale,
Till every murmuring brook is dry,
Throughout the neighboring dale.
And have seen lingering star,
When all the rest were gone,
Admired, which had unnotccd bscn.
When sister planets shone.
And have often loved flower.
Which had never known,
But that il raised its tiny head,
And blossomcd all alone.
IT'S thus when weary of the world,
Some JOY springs in the mind
That, lost in pleasures giddy maze.
We meier had Glanced to find.
