Subject(s): Country Life
Far from the mountains and the meadows I,
Who love the quiet country, in this place
Of strange unrest, turn thitherward my face,
Tired of the noise and homesick for the sky.
There sing the birds that in the days gone by
Brought joy to me, and there the sweet flowers grace
The path that led to Nature's kind embrace,
And Echo lingers there with fond reply.
O for a breath of fragrance and a sight
Of blue hills swimming in the morning light,
And purple valleys streaked with silvery streams!
O for the open country and the long
Days made miraculous by sky and song,
And leafy slumbers filled with pleasant dreams!
