• I gazed upon the glorious sky
  And the green mountains round,
  And thought that when I came to lie
  At rest within the ground,
  'Twere pleasant, that in flowery June
  When brooks send up a cheerful tune,
  And groves a joyous sound,
  The sexton's hand, my grave to make,
  The rich, green mountain-turf should break.

• I ate breakfast in the kitchen by candle-light, and then drove the five miles to the station through the most glorious October colouring.
