First Line: Nestling amid the verdant steep
Last Line: You know protection's care.
Subject(s): Houses; Mountains; Nature; Hills; Downs (great Britain)
Nestling amid the verdant steep,
Upon the mountain's breast,
Like a child in happy sleep,
In mother's arms at rest,—
A little house you stand serene,
Far from the world of care,
While nature paints a glorious scene
Around you standing there.
Some flowers bloom before your door
And trees spread rustling arms;
Over your roof the song birds soar,
And scatter a thousand charms.
A silver pond not far from you,
Where sun and breezes play,
And smilingly,—a sky of blue
Sends down its happiest ray.
When fades the day, a thousand lights
Beam down upon you there,
And looking up to greater heights
You know protection's care.
