THE trees have now hid at the edge of the hurstThe spot where the ruins decayOf the cottage, where Will of the Woodland was nursed,And lived so beloved, till the moment accursedWhen he went from the woodland away.Among all the lads of the plough or the fold;Best esteem'd by the sober and good,Was Will of the Woodlands; and often the oldWould tell of his frolics, for active and boldWas William the boy of the wood.Yet gentle was he, as the breath of the May, And when sick and declining was laidThe woodman his father, young William awayWould go to the forest to labour all day,And perform his hard task in his stead.And when his poor father the forester died, And his mother was sad, and alone,He toil'd from the dawn, and at evening he hiedIn storm or in snow, or whate'er might betide,To supply all her wants from the town.One neighbour they had on the heath to the west,And no other the cottage was near,But she would send Phoebe, the child she loved best,To stay with the widow, thus sad and distress'd,Her hours of dejection to cheer.As the buds of wild roses, the cheeks of the maidWere just tinted with youth's lovely hue,Her form, like the aspen, wild graces display'd,And the eyes, over which her luxuriant locks stray'd,As the skies of the summer were blue.Still labouring to live, yet reflecting the while,Young William consider'd his lot;'Twas hard, yet 'twas honest; and one tender smileFrom Phoebe at night overpaid ev'ry toil,And then all his fatigues were forgot.By the brook where it glides through the copse of Arbeal,When to eat his cold fare he reclined,Then soft from her home his sweet Phoebe would steal,And bring him wood-strawberries to finish his meal,And would sit by his side while he dined.And though when employed in the deep forest glade,His days have seem'd slowly to move,Yet Phoebe going home, through the wood-walk has stray'dTo bid him good night!--and whatever she saidWas more sweet than the voice of the dove.Fair Hope, that the lover so fondly believes,Then repeated each soul-soothing speech,And touch'd with illusion, that often deceivesThe future with light; as the sun through the leavesIllumines the boughs of the beech.But once more the tempests of chill winter blow,To depress and disfigure the earth;And now ere the dawn, the young woodman must goTo his work in the forest, half buried in snow,And at night bring home wood for the hearth.The bridge on the heath by the flood was wash'd down,And fast fell the sleet and the rain,The stream to a wild rapid river was grown,And long might the widow sit sighing aloneEre sweet Phoebe could see her again.At the town was a market--and now for supplies,Such as needed her humble abode,Young William went forth; and his mother with sighsWatch'd long at the window, with tears in her eyes,Till he turn'd through the fields to the road.Then darkness came on; and she heard with affrightThe wind every moment more high;She look'd from the door; not a star lent its light,But the tempest redoubled the gloom of the night,And the rain pour'd in sheets from the sky.The clock in her cottage now mournfully toldThe hours that went heavily on;'Twas midnight: her spirits sank hopeless and cold,And it seem'd as each blast of wind fearfully toldThat long, long would her William be gone.Then heart-sick and cold to her sad bed she crept,Yet first made up the fire in the roomTo guide his dark steps; but she listen'd and wept,Or if for a moment forgetful she slept,Soon she started!--and thought he was come. xx xxx xxxx xxxxxxxxx Wayne, Indiana, USA.
