Past glittering lake and grassy lawn, The road a-glimmer with golden light.
We ride by the banks of the Manasquan, A surfeit of beauty left and right.
Beauty of water, where trees above Brood o'er a mirror of trees below; Beauty of bridge, where the sweet, wild dove Coos from the arches, soft and low.
Beauty of verdure, whose flora fills The air with its spicy, exquisite scent; Beauty of valleys and rolling hills Domed by the broad, blue firmament.
The pine tree raises its hairy arms.
The cedar... quivers its ragged beard: We quit the pike with its roadside farms.
And ride thro' the woodlands dim and weird 36 O ruined village! O ghostly town !
O wood-encircled, wild Allaire!
Your crumbling walls are dank and brown, The weeds grow thick round the mould'ring stair.
Sashless windows and roofless rooms.
The loft laid bare to the open sky; The broken doors, where the wildflower blooms.
And the great trees thrust their plumes on high, Are sadder far than the ruined mill Whose depths in empty darkness yawn, Whose wheels are rusted, whose works are still, Whose busy toilers are dead or gone; For one was the haunt of soulless trade.
