I + 

The village wherein yawned Eugene + 

Was a delightful little spot, + 

There friends of pure delight had been + 

Grateful to Heaven for their lot. + 

The lonely mansion-house to screen + 

From gales a hill behind was seen; + 

Before it ran a stream. Behold! + 

Afar, where clothed in green and gold + 

Meadows and cornfields are displayed, + 

Villages in the distance show + 

And herds of oxen wandering low; + 

Whilst nearer, sunk in deeper shade, + 

A thick immense neglected grove + 

Extended⁠—haunt which Dryads love. + 
