Lyndhurst Came Up to Me Among

Lyndhurst came up to me among
A titled and untitled throng,
And after a few words were said
About the living and the dead,
Whom we had known together more
Than half a century before,
He added: ' ' Faith! your choice was best
Amid the woods to build a nest.
But why so seldom wing it down,
To look at us who toil in town?"
"Would you change place with me? " said I.
To this a laugh was a reply.
