Mine be the breezy hill that skirts the down, Where a green grassy turf is all I crave, With here and there a violet bestrewn, Fast by a brook or fountain's murmuring wave
And many an evening sun shine sweetly on my grave!...
Zealous, yet modest; innocent, though free; Patient of toil, serene amidst alarm
Inflexible in faith, invincible in arms....
Oh who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried.

Place me on Sunium's marbled steep, Where nothing save the waves and I May hear our mutual murmurs sweep
There, swan-like, let me sing and die....
