Book Description

Excerpt from Goldsmith's the Traveller and the Deserted Village, And, Longfellow's Tales of a Wayside Inn, and Other Poems: For Use in Public and High Schools The matron's glance that would those looks reprove These were thy charms, sweet village sports like these, With sweet succession, taught e'en toil to please These round thy bowers their cheerful influence shed, These were thy charms, - but all these charms are fled. Sweet smiling village, loveliest of the lawn Thy sports are fled, and all thy charms withdrawn Amidst thy bowers the tyrant's hand is seen.
