PRICE SIXPENCE.

Oh! on this green and mossy seat,
In my hours of sweet retreat;
Thus I would my soul employ,
With sense of gratitude and joy.
! farewell! the trumpet calls,
The banner waves in view;
And I must bid these friendly halls,
One long! one last adieu!

The dappled herd of grazing deer,
That seek the shades by day;
Now started from their path with fear,
To give the stranger way.
