THE CONNECTICUT, OR RIVER OF PINES.
21
To banqueting halls by that river-side fair,
To notes that were sounded to welcome me there,
I fain would bestow, O, I fain would express
A prayer, that all the good angels may bless;
For tenderness, sympathy, gushing and free,
My heart shall respond in its fullness to thee;
While Hope shall illume, and while Memory shines
In spirit I'll roam by this River of Pines.
