mossy brim to receive it,As, poised on the curb, it inclined to my lips!Not a full, blushing goblet could tempt me to leave it.The brightest that beauty or revelry sips.And now, far removed from the loved habitation,The tear of regret will intrusively swell.As fancy reverts to my fathers plan-tation.And sighs for the bucket that hangs in the well —The old oaken bucket, the iron-bound bucket.The moss-covered bucket that hangs in the well!
