The Fall of the Leaf | ||
12
IV.
Such is our cottage; such our humble fare!Come, then; forsake the melancholy town,
Deform'd with smoke, which in dark masses hang,
Bronzing the splendour of meridian suns.
Come! quit the bar, port-folio, and the code;
Accept the welcome of a long-tried friend;
And, in the silence of his nest, consent
To pass the season of the Yellow Leaf.
None shall disturb you!—Sometimes in the mead
That lies below, we'll saunter out the day;
Listening with silent and attentive ear
To all the inconveniences we've suffer'd,
Since last we met, by accident, beneath
The fretted aisle of Gloucester's sacred fane.
Then will we loiter in the garden; mark
The fading honours of anemones,
Asters, auriculas, and Guernsey lilies,
Roses, carnations, and chrysanthemums.
