doors; and appearing to exult in the humble comforts and
embellishments which their own hands have spread around them。
It is this sweet home…feeling; this settled repose of affection in
the domestic scene; that is; after all; the parent of the steadiest
virtues and purest enjoyments; and I cannot close these desultory
remarks better; than by quoting the words of a modern English poet;
who has depicted it with remarkable felicity:
Through each gradation; from the castled hall;
The city dome; the villa crown'd with shade;
But chief from modest mansions numberless;
In town or hamlet; shelt'ring middle life;
Down to the cottaged vale; and straw roof'd shed;
This western isle hath long been famed for scenes
Where bliss domestic finds a dwelling…place;
Domestic bliss; that; like a harmless dove;
(Honor and sweet endearment keeping guard;)
Can centre in a little quiet nest
All that desire would fly for through the earth;
That can; the world eluding; be itself
A world enjoy'd; that wants no witnesses
But its own sharers; and approving heaven;
That; like a flower deep hid in rocky cleft;
Smiles; though 'tis looking only at the sky。*
* From a Poem on the death of the Princess Charlotte; by the
Reverend Rann Kennedy; A。M。
