THE RED-BREAST,

IN WREXAM CHURCH, DENBIGHSHIRE,

I roam'd on a cheerful bright summer morning,

The sun, unclouded, the hills was adorning;

My heart beat in transport, but brief was the hour,

When onward I hasten'd for Wrexam's famed tow'r,

A feeling I have—and that feeling it led,

For pensive the pleasure to muse o'er the dead;

And ponder o'er graves where the good are at rest;

Who no son of sorrow yet ever oppress'd.
