Upon your North-West Passage scale my heights,

And mark the joyous crowds that sport beneath;

Men call me "Happy": O the strange delights,

The dalliance on my Heath!

PECKHAM

A peaceful calm envelops every street,

And like an old-world idyll life drifts by;

Where else such courtly couples shall you meet

A-comin' thro' the Rye?
