THE FAIREST COUNTY.
I know the English county, Most exquisitely fair, Where Nature of her bounty Has given and to spare, From Cornwall's rocky reaches To far Northumbria's dalea; From Norfolk'.s sandy beaches. To gallant little Wales, By fertile plain and teeming The eye may be beguiled. Or ia your fancy dreaming Of mountains stern • and wild, Of rich iand or of poor land, Of rivers . gliding by, ♦ Or dark and fugged moorland Upheaved against the sky? Which is the shirt whose glory Makes good your every claim? ■ 'Tis famed in song and story, What need to breathe its name? Far, far beyond all other, The beauties that adorn The shire you claim as mother, The shire where you were born ! — Touchston*.
