Notes: the trees that watch, the hills that dream,
the mill turned by the amber stream,
the church that guards, the fields that sleep
the chime that echoes, silver-deep
the friendly swallows in the eaves,
the whine and scratch of holly leaves,
the breeze that plays awhile then lies
to watch the green-glass star of even rise
the smithy sparks against a sable pine
as candles in the cottage windows shine-
these, with the beacon- hill, the village green,
shall blend into one well-remembered scene.
