    Another of his poems - a description of Passage West is
    "Our Village"
    There's a cot in our village with ivy o'ergrown,
    In a sweet little valley 'tis humble I own ;
    But to me it is lovely, and dearer by far,
    Than the halls of the great, for believe me there are
    Old ties of endearment that time cannot sever ;
    And thoughts that will live in this bosom forever
    Connected with thee happy cot of my birth
