Than courage of heart or holiness
Yet in my walks it seems to me
That the Grace of God is in courtesy.

But only rather rude and wild:

Her meadows hush to hear the sound
Of waters mingling in the brakes,
And binds my heart to English ground. A lovely river, all alone,
She lingers in the hills and holds
A hundred little towns of stone,
Forgotten in the western wolds.
