Thanks to the artist, Who with eloquent pen,
Dropping awhile his pencil-doubtiess one
Welded with skill-tells us what should be done,
To save from havoc by unthinking men,
Full many a Lovely wood and NOISY glen,
Where from flush founts, romantic streamlets
run,
Now hidden in shade, now sparkling in the sun,
And valleys fair as e'er blessed mortal ken.
Ay, let us park the lands where. prattling, gides
Through its deep dells our many winding creek.
Mid lofty oaks and beeohes centuries old;
Preserve the beauty that STILL nesting, bides
So near the Capitol, and 30 bespeak
A cftys praise when we be mixed with mould.

And let that park inviolate refuge be
For every bird that with us prunes his wings.
And every wild flower that each season brings,
Which we from childhood have been wont to see.
By axe unscathed. let tower each aged tree,
The snake-Eke vine, that 10 its branches clings,
Ramp az it may; and sll wild. harmless things
Fly, run, or creep, or glide, at liberty
With skillful hand. and with prophetic eye,
Let Taste preside DER the luxuriant scene,
Nor Nature seorn the marvellous gifts of Art;
SO thither oft the weary town shall HE,
And. In its shades, secluded and serene,
Its peace and silence soothe the mind and heart.
