The Life of Samuel Stilwell

Excerpt from The Life of Samuel Stilwell: With Notices of Some of His Contemporaries How often I think on the scenes of my childhood, The meadows and fields where the wild flowers grew The orchards, the pond, the glade, and the wildwood, And the social delights that my infancy knew. The dew-spangled lawn, and the green grassy meadow, The copse, where the birds warbled sweetly their lay Where oft in the wide-spreading trees' ample shadow We felt the sea-breeze, in the heat of the day. I remember the road with its winding and turning, The green living hedge row, that skirted the way; The field it enclosed, where the brick kiln was burning.
