Of cultured shrubs and flowers together blent,
And o'er the trim-kept gravel's tawny hue
Warm fell the shadows and the brightness too.

I know the scent of bean-fields; I have heard
The satisfying murmur of the main.”

In thankful gladness, here,
As the boat that brought them o'er the lake,
Goes steaming from the pier.
