"Minstrelsy of the Scottish border (3rd ed) (1 of 3)"
Walter Scott
The land around me was fair to look on; nothing could be finer than the forms of the hills-half clear of wood, the disposition of open grassy downs and vales-or the beauty of the woods.

Thomas Mitchell
Through mossy woods, and watered vales, I roam, While day is young, and bring my treasure home; Each lovely bell so tenderly I bear, It knoweth not my fingers from the air, Lo now, they scarce acknowledge their surprise, And how the dewdrops sparkle in their eyes!"
