You mind as Won turn from the village green
A little above where the woods are seen
With the meadows and river that flows between,-
You have noticed rerbans on the left hand side
Where the stream curves round in an angle wide,
The old s,one tower where the night bird sings
And the ivy of many , long wear cl;urs

Ere my hair had grown white with the SHOWS of TIM
Twas n beautiful nlsce and the felis aud ground
Were the mid. Of the country for miles around
Twas grey stone mansion with turrets and towers,
An Epciishnan bul, il - and marks and bowers
And orchards and me sdows and fields and flower
Were planned and planted with English pride,
Til the day when the bounteous owner died.
