THE COTTAGE DOOR.
BY 7. X. HERvEY. ESQ.

How sweet the rest that labor yields
The humble and the poor, -
Where sits the patriarch of the fields"
Before his cottage door:
The lark is singing in the sky,
The swallow in the caves, "
And love is beaming in each eye
Beneath the summer leaves
The air amid the fragrant bowers
Supplies unpurchased health,
And hearts are bounding mid the flowers
More dear to him than wealth
Peace, like the blessed sunlight, plays
Around his humble cot,
And happy nights and cheerful days
Divide his lowly lot.
And when the village Sabbath bell
Rings out upon the gale,
The father bows his head to tell
The music of its tale
A fresher verdure seems to fill ....
The fair and dewy sod,
And every infant tongue is still,
To hear the word of God
o, happy hearts Ito Him who stills
The ravens when they cry,
And makes the lily meath the hills
So glorious 10 the eye
The trusting patriarch prays, to bless
His labors with increase; ~...
Such "ways are ways of pleasantness,"
And all such "paths are peace ~
