Floats att-ange perfume ;
Through the crumbling thatch
The a.ugele watch,
Over the rotting roof-tree.
They warble and l!utter, and hover and glide,
Wafting old sounds to nty dreary bed-aide,
Snatches of aonga which I u~d to know
When I alept by my nurae, and the swallows
Oall'd me at day-dawn from un•ler the eaves.

Fluting like woodlarka, tender and low-
Cool ruat'ling leavea-tl'iekling watera-

!If the downhill of life, when I find I ' m declining,
May my lot no le• fortunate be
Than a snug elbow-ebair cau afford for reclining,
And a cot that o'erlooka the wide sea;
With an ambling pad-pony to pace o'er the lawn,
While I carol awAy idle aorrow ·
And blithe as the lark that each dr.y haila the dawn,
Look forward with hope for to-morrow.
