And Hansom Cabs unblest,—

Tho' Pic-nics take the place of Cows,

Tho' Geese are abdicating,

Tho' Boys usurp the haunts of Fish

And Ice-carts spoil the skating;—

I love thee still!—Thy benches,

When no East wind assails,—

Thy turf, sweet to recline upon—

When unengross'd by snails,—

Oh! never may thy blooming heath
