Come where the wild deer feed within the brake As red as oak and strong; Come where romantic echoes wildly wake Old hills to mystic song. Come to the vine-hung woodlands hoary, Come to the realms of hunting song and story; But come when Summer decks the land With garb of gold, With colors myriad as the sand-- A birth-fair child, tho' thousand summers old.
