AN OLD-WORLD COUNTRY.

AN OlD-WORlO COUNTRY.
l know an Old-world country,
Where travellers never stray,
Whose wood paths wind sequestered
For miles and miles away;
Whose fields Of Towering grasses
To Swallowed dingles slant,
Where elves are wont to whisper,
And nightingales to chantl
There still the world homesteads
In calm contentment thrive,
Gray hauDts of fail and sickle,
OF dovecot and of hive.
Invention ne'er invades them
With desecrating hand;
No steam plough ever plunges
Amid that placid land
There Old-world greens still flourish
With ale bench and with stocks;
The village danes drop courtesies,
The village binds wear smocks;
Sleek Dobbn shakes his ribbons,
Dick Shepherd plies his crook,
And daisy-sprinkled burrows
The belfries overlook.
There, in that Old-world country,
Beneath its noiseless spell,
Amid its sweet composure,
Who would not choose to dwell!
Where troubles never trespass,
Where Time unruffled flows,
And every morn brings gladness.
And every eve repose!
