Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rural Rhymes, and Poems From the Farm: Being a Collection of Poems, Grave, Humorous, Didactic, Sentimental and Descriptive, Written at Different Times and Under Different Circumstances
Far from the city's noisy din, Far from its bustle and alarm, We had our being first within The limits of an humble farm. From out its cool, sequestered shade, In different ways at different times, We came; and when together laid Are simply styled the Rural Rhymes. From out a toiling farmer's brain We had our birth. - No matter when, If we can your attention chain, And edify the minds of men And though we may not soar as high As Milton's thoughts in former times, Oh I let it be no reason why You should not read the Rural Rhymes.
