    The bleating lambs sport with the fawn
    Fathlegg it lies in the distance
    But not as a matter of fame
    The pond you will see as you enter
    The gateway of Bellevue Demesne.

    The green house is truely inviting
    The plants are laid down with such care
    My efforts are vain in reciting
    The orange and lemon grow there
    There are pots of the rarest geraniums
    The lily the palm grape and bean
    'Tis folly for any to name them
    The sceneries of Bellevue Demesne.
