Poems (Baldwyn)/The Stream
THE STREAM.
Oh, gentle stream that wanders free
Where peace so sweetly reigns,
Had I a lowly home by thee,
In these still flow'ry plains!
Where peace so sweetly reigns,
Had I a lowly home by thee,
In these still flow'ry plains!
How would I love this humble spot,
This utter solitude!
By all but Heaven though forgot,
No care might here intrude.
This utter solitude!
By all but Heaven though forgot,
No care might here intrude.
In sweet seclusion's happy shade
I fain would wish to dwell;
Oh, would I now forever bade
The busy world farewell.
I fain would wish to dwell;
Oh, would I now forever bade
The busy world farewell.
