WINTER.
Farewell ye groves! ye sylvan bow'rs adieu!
Who kindly hid me in your calm retreat;
Reluctantly dear shades!  I part from you,
And grieve to quit sweet meditation's fear.
. . . [7 lines]
In this sequester'd place, I'd rather rove,
Than haunt the grand assemblies of the gay;
I'd rather hear the musick of the grove
Than all the strains adept musicians play.
. . . [1 more verse] [signed] A.
