Lyrics: Elizabeth Carter
How sweet the calm of this sequester'd shore,
Where ebbing waters musically roll,
And solitude, sweet solitude, and silent eve restore
The philosophic temple of the soul.
The sighing gale, whose murmurs lull to rest
The busy tumults of declining day,
To sympathetic quiet soothes the breast,
And ev'ry wild emotion dies away.
How sweet the calm of this sequester'd shore,
Where ebbing waters musically roll,
And solitude, sweet solitude, and silent eve restore
The philosophic temple of the soul.
The sighing gale, whose murmurs lull to rest
The busy tumults of declining day,
To sympathetic quiet soothes the breast,
And ev'ry wild emotion dies away.
