Farewell!—we leave thee to Heaven's peaceful care,

Thee, and the Cottage which thou dost surround.

* * * * * * * *

Fields, goods, and far-off chattels we have none:

These narrow bounds contain our private store

Of things earth makes, and sun doth shine upon;

Here are they in our sight—we have no more.

"Sunshine and shower be with you, bud and bell!

For two months now in vain we shall be sought;

We leave you here in solitude to dwell
