DARTSIDE. 1849.
'Oh green is the colour of faith and truth,
And rose the colour of love and youth,
  And brown of the fruitful clay.
Sweet Earth is faithful, and fruitful, and young,
And her bridal day shall come ere long,
And you shall know what the rocks and the streams
  And the whispering woodlands say.'
