Where Alice Hill had passed her days
Unnoticed by a flatterer's gaze;
And Rudolph Hill, a farmer skilled,
The fields had reaped, the lands had tilled,
Fitch Moreland's tenant, prompt to pay
His rent and taxes gathering day.
Just free from school, with shout and song,
Fitch Moreland met a joyous throng,
And joined their sports, with heart as gay,
As boyhood had not passed away;
