O Native Scenes


O Native Scenes for ever dear
So blest so happy as I here have been
So charmd with nature in each varied scene
To leave you all is cutting and severe.
Ye hawthorn bushes that from winds would screen
Where oft Ive shelterd from a threatend shower
In youths past bliss in childhoods happy hour
Ye woods Ive wandered seeking out the nest
Ye meadows gay that rear'd rae many a flower
Where pulling cowslips Ive been doubly blest
