There is a lone and quiet lake, Near Bantam’s peaceful stream Upon whose waters brightly bask, The sun’s first morning beam— Gay is the green upon its hills, And gay its sparkling waves; And gaily in their glassy tide The moon her image laves— Alone amid its green it lies, Its waves as brightly blue As woman’s eyes in mildest hours; Like that as quiet too— Once were its hills a forest huge, Its swamps a tangled scene, But cultivation’s hand has lower’d Its oak clad hills so green. Where once the chestnut sought the breeze, Where solemn waved the pine, The tall corn smiles in brighter green The russet hay-cocks shine— Slow changed the peaceful wave from once When not a hand had dar’d To clear the tangled forest glades And not a field was bar’d— Sometimes its mirror would reflect The red man’s bark canoe. Sometimes amid its tangled shade The deer looked wildly through. ’Twas long before that fated hour When first the white man came, Nootonuc, on its oak clad hills— Pursued his wonted game.
