English poem
Quintet
by Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
No light bound Of stag or timid hare, O'er the ground Where startled herds repair, Do we prize So high, or hold so dear, As the eyes That light our pleasures here.
No cool breeze That gently plays by night, O'er calm seas, Whose waters glisten bright; No soft moan That sighs across the lea, Harvest Home, Is half so sweet as thee!
