Ctive me to wander in the lonely shade, Far from the City's treach'rous, bustling crew; L, et slumbering echo whisper to my tread, Where tangling woodbine climbs the nodding yew;--. Where flow'rs of sweetest breath, of blendedhuea, Are strew'd promiscuously alongst the sward, Or where the blue-bell'd foot-path leads the Muse Down the slow steep to other steps debarr'd.

To me now the breezes are sweeter That blaw owre the blue heather blooqft To me now the gowans seem whiter, An' deeper the dye o' the broom.--Ye shepherds wha sadden'd wi' sorrow, Come round an' partake o' my glee I sing o' the...
