SLEEPY HOLLOW. I. Sleepy Hollow, aptly deemed, Nelson, with thy slumbering face, Thy quietude is sd esteemed None can leave this quiet place. Arcadia's bower it looks to me, Thy children sylvan shepherds seem, Whose labor looks so light to be, Life's work is but a lovely dream. Thy daughters, oh, so bright and fair, Stamped with Virtue's soft impress, Whose faces decked with golden hair, Ar.d sweet, but simple, is their dress. Long may the world's rude blast pass by This spot where tranquil joys now dwell, Oh, happy Nelson, how I sigh, As now I bid thee, fare-thee-well.
