There's a tumble.down mill on the edge Of the
wood,
Where the brook madly leans tn the va,,ev

The barberries grow where the miI,ar,u ho,so
stood,
And close 70 the doorstep the wild roses
blow
Aongy long years ago, when my fancy was
young,
' I stood by the mill-wheel and watched i,,ro
round;
I heard the strange song that the toaminy
The song OF the brook that was oceanward
bound.
How dearly | longed that I, 200, might be free
From the tasks OF the school-boy, the duties
OF home,
And singing my way to the beautiful sea,
With nothing to do but to sing and to roam!
All, little knew OF the ships and the mills
ihe tasks of the waters that oceanward fowl
MY lie was the brook-life far back in the hills.
And boyhood's bright visions were all I could
know.
And now I've returned to the scene that
loved
The Mmble-down mill and the rock .lretted
brook;
Oh, that the swift stream OF my life had not
moved,
Save over the mill.wheel, as backward I
look
1ionged to be free, now I long to be bound
The river would fain be a brook on the hill.
Oh, could l exchange for the oceans deem
