The Deserted Village: A Poem (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from The Deserted Village: A Poem Where health and plenty cheared the labouring fwain, Where fmilmg fpring its earlieft vifit paid, And parting fummer's lingering blooms delayed, Dear lovely bowers of innocence and eafe, Seats of my youth, when every fport could pleafe, How often have I loitered o'er thy green, Where humble happinefs endeared each fcene; How often have I paufed on every charm, The fheltered cot, the cultivated farm.
