SONG (3) by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS

Poet Analysis

First Line: SAY, DOES CALM CONTENTMENT DWELL
Last Line: AND WITH HER FELICITY.

SAY, does calm Contentment dwell,
In palace rich, or lowly cell ?
Fixed to no peculiar spot,
Gilded rooms, or simple cot,
She will grace the courtly scene,
Or love to haunt the village green:
Where Virtue dwells, Content must be.
And with her Felicity.
