Signification . . Love of Rural Life. 
Emblem .Tulip Tree. 
Sentiment .... Rural Life favorable to Virtue. 
Not in the city’s crowd, 
Would I expend the precious hours of time; 
There, busy hum of noisy voices chime 
In accents stern and loud. 
To lowly cottage hearth 
Would I retire from noise, and pomp, and strife, 
And in the calm of sweet domestic life, 
Live far from noisy mirth. 
There, hum of busy bee, 
And merry song of birds, at morning call 
Would wake me at the dawn, to join with all 
In the great jubilee. 
There, flowers their petals spread 
To greet the rising of the King of Day; 
And fragrant dews, that tremble on the spray, 
Sweet odors shed. 
Then to the silent dell 
I’d hie me at the burning noontide hour, 
And in some shady grove, or sylvan bower 
Would all sad thoughts dispel.
