Here Welton’s richly wooded dale,
Or Elloughton’s dark dell,
Or Brantingham’s romantic vale,
Charm as by magic spell!
The song-bird’s note, the bee’s rich hum,
The insect’s merry flight,
The wild-flowers and the fragrant pines
Must all enhance delight!
He who would choose the deep lone wood,
Or forest’s tangled shade,
