 FAREWELL TO A RURAL RESIDENCE. 81

To every daisy's dappled brow,

To every violet blue, Thanks ! thanks ! may each returning year

Your changeless bloom renew.

Praise to our Father-God,

High praise, in solemn lay, Alike for what his hand hath given,

And vvhat it takes away : And to some other loving heart

May all this beauty be The dear retreat, the Eden-home

That it hath been to me.
