[Here is the scenes the rural poet made]
Here is the scenes the rural poet madeSo famous in his songs—the very scenes
He painted in his words that warm & shade
In winters wild waste & springs young vivid greens
Alcove & shrubbery—& the tree that leans
With its oerweight of Ivy—Yardley oak
The peasants nest & fields of blossomed beans
The bridge & avenue of thick set oak
The wilde[r]ness—here Cowpers spirit spoke
