The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

For yonder garden, fair and wide,

   With groves of evergreen,

Long winding walks, and borders trim,

   And velvet lawns between—

Restore to me that little spot,

   With gray walls compassed round,

Where knotted grass neglected lies,

   And weeds usurp the ground.

Though all around this mansion high

   Invites the foot to roam,

And though its halls are fair within—

   Oh, give me back my Home!
