Excerpt from Monticello: A Picture of the Past Air Monticello! Scene of earlier years, Thy shades I visit, and though gathering tears Bedim my Vision as I walk thy streets, The Past beams welcome - kindly smiles and greets Thy wanderer, who erewhile from thee did stray, As from a nest a bird might fly away With untried pinion, and in ether soar, Nor know that to his home-nest evermore, When once he flew away on fluttering wing.
