ON LEAVING A SUMMER RESIDENCE
AT A COTTAGE.
While late we dwelt in shepherd's cot,
Far from the glare of wealth or state;
Content trac'd out the lowly spot,
And came with Peace, her rustic mate.
Far from the glare of wealth or state;
Content trac'd out the lowly spot,
And came with Peace, her rustic mate.
Each morn its fragrance breath'd around,
Each evening brought its social sweets;
And though our board did not abound
With costly wines, or dainty meats:
Each evening brought its social sweets;
And though our board did not abound
With costly wines, or dainty meats:
Yet Health with all her train was there
Of gladsome heart, and smiling brow;
Wealth robb'd our cot of nought but care,
And Pomp of nought but empty show.
Of gladsome heart, and smiling brow;
Wealth robb'd our cot of nought but care,
And Pomp of nought but empty show.
