THOUGH I may rest in some leafy place,
And read, through the summer day,
Thy pages penned in the busy town,
-- So busy and far away --
Though hills stretch out, and sunlight falls
On acres of swelling land,
I seem to span the misty miles
Between us, and clasp thy hand;
For thou hast bound with magic chain,
The vagrant thoughts I chased in vain.
