Classic Poem

Happy is the Country life
Blest with Content, good Health, and Ease;
Free from factious Noise and Strife,
We only Plot ourselves to please:
Peace of Mind the Days delight,
And Love our welcome Dream at night.

Hail green Fields and shady Woods,
Hail Springs and Streams that still run pure;
Nature's uncorrupted Goods,
Where Virtue only is secure:
Free from Vice, here free from Care,
Age is no pain, and Youth no snare.
