Bush Hill
Retired and apart from the world’s busy hum,
This rural and lovely retreat,
By the genius of talent and taste, has become
To the stranger and curious, a treat.
’Tis a model, deserving of copy from all
Who wish’to improve their estates;
’Tis a spot, where the spring & the summer and fall,
Man’s bosom delighted elates.
Should I search far & wide, there is not a place
My soul would prefer to ‘BUSH-HILL’
For Natural charms, and for many a grace
Conferr’d by industry and skill.
