THE FIRST SIGHT
OF
GREEN FIELDS

XXXIII

Lately an equipage I overtook,

And help’d to lift it o’er a narrow brook;

No horse it had, except one boy, who drew

His sister out in it the fields to view.

O happy town-bred girl, in fine chaise going

For the first time to see the green grass growing!

This was the end and purport of the ride,
