LAKE BYROM,
In the County of Westchester, N. Y.
1.
By thy still waters, lonely Lake,
The wild-dove builds her hermit home,
And there her matin-song doth make,
Where mornings all like Sabbaths come:
O’er thee she flits with silent wing,
Or lulls thee with its silken sound,
Thee—sleeping like a holy thing,
