   1 As I did stray on a spacious evening
   For speculation to take my view
   I drew convenient to a crystal fountain
   Where pinks & dasies by nature grew
   I stood delighted although benighted
   I still kept pondering beneath the flood
   The fish were schooling from foreign fishponds
   And came for refuge to Ravenswood.
   2. Night silent arbours fell on the bower
   The feathered warbler to rest inclined
   Lest to disturb them from their slumbers
   Beneath the glasshouse I did recline
   As day was breaking their tunes awake me
   The dove and pheasant around me did roam
   The lark & linnet their notes were changing
   The thrush had weaned me from thoughts of home
   3 Its like mid summer in cold December
   No storm shudders its gentle mood
   With flood gates quaking & ramparts shaking
   All storms ceases at Ravenswood
   4 Amid the centre of the smooth going water
   A stately island is erected there
   A lonely refuge for duck & partridge
   At all times from the winter air
   An oval fishpond I next perceived it
   And it supported by a kennel fair
   The trout & salmon by nature swimming
   And the swan courageously her course did steer.
