Summary

Portrait of William Cullen Bryant William Cullen Bryant,  A Song of Pitcairn's Island

“ A bonnet like an English maid.
Come, for the soft low sunlight calls,
We lose the pleasant hours;
'Tis lovelier than these cottage walls,--
That seat among the flowers.
And I will learn of thee a prayer,
To Him, who gave a home so fair,
A lot so blessed as ours--
The God who made, for thee and me,
This sweet lone isle amid the sea.
This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
