Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Fitz-Greene Halleck A gentle hill its side inclines, Lovely in England's fadeless green, To meet the quiet stream which winds Through this romantic scene As silently and sweetly still, As when, at evening, on that hill, W'hile summer's wind blew soft and Seated by gallant Hotspur's side, His Katherine was a happy bride, A thousand years ago.
