Lake MOrey.
This lovely water, whose praises sound,
Hides in region where beauties abound,
Shuns the worlds tumult and nestles between
Two modest mountains clad wholly in green.
These shady retreats OF partridge and hare,
With well wooded slopes, meet two meadows fair,
And their bright carpets encrcle the strand
Where the waves gently are FLASHING the sand
When the brisk breezes, subsidng to rest,
Leave not zephyr to rufiie its breast,
This dainty mirror reflects to the eye
The distant white clouds that loaf through the sky
1t shows the mountain from summit to base,
The grove that borders its silvery face,
And each idle boat chained fast to stake
Has bold shadow reversed in the lake.
Let the eye ramble DER woodland and mead
Ger point and inlet, where fancy may lead,
Rest on the island, or linger shore,
They all have the power of charming once more
Then to this akelet, secluded and calm,
No longer delay awarding the palm;
He that speaks fairly in fairness may call
Fairlee's fair water the fairest of all.
