Good bye, proud world I'm going home
Ihou'rt not my friend, and I'm not thine;

Long I've been tossed like the driven foam:
Bat, now. proud world I'm going home.
Goodbye % flsttery's fawning face
To grandeur. vi h his wise grimace
To upstart wealth's averted eye;
To simple Office, low and high
To o-owded halls, 10 court and street;
To frozen hearts and hasting feet;
To those who go and those who come
Goodbye, proud world I'm going home.
I'm going tn my own hearth-stone,
Bosomed in you green hills alone
secret nooA a pleasant land
Whose groves the frolc fury planned;
Where vulgar feet have never trod-
a spot that is sacred to Thought and God
o when I'm fafe in nv sylvan home,
III tread on the pride of Greece and Rome;
And when am stretched beneath tire pines
Where the evening star SO hoy shines,

At the sophist's schools and the learned clan,
Fer what they in their high conceit,
When man in the bush with God may meet.
