IMITATED.

When shall I return to the Land of the Mountains--
The lakes and the Rhone that is lost in the earth--
Our sweet little hamlets, our villages, fountains,
The flour-clad rocks of the place of my birth?
O when shall I see my old garden of flowers,
Dear Emma, the sweetest of blooms in the glade,
And the rich chestnut grove, where we pass'd the long hours
With tabor and pipe, while we danced in the shade?
When shall I revisit the land of the mountains,
Where all the fond objects of memory meet:
The cows that would follow my voice to the fountains,
The lambs that I called to the shady retreat:
My father, my mother, my sister, and brother;
My all that was dear in this valley of tears;
My palfrey grown old, but there's ne'er such another;
My dear dog, still faithful, tho' stricken in years:
The vesper bell tolling, the loud thunder rolling,
The bees that humm'd round the tall vine-mantled tree:
The smooth water's margin whereon we were strolling
When evening painted its mirror for me?
And shall I return to this scenery never?
These objects of infantine glory and love,--
O tell me, my dear Guardian Angel, that ever
Floats nigh me,--safe guide to the regions above.
