    ON VISITING THE PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITAL “Whose fair abode is this? Whose happy lot Has drawn them in these peaceful shades to rest And hear the distant hum of busy life? The city’s noise, its clouds of smoke and dust, Vainly invade these leafy walls that wave On high around it, sheltering all within, And wooing the scared bird to stay its flight, And add its note of joy to bless the scene! The city’s toils, and cares, and strifes are, sure, Alike excluded here—Content here smiles And reigns, and leads her vot’ries through the maze Of flower-embroidered walks to bowers of bliss! O! ’tis a sight to warm the heart of him Who feels for man, and shares the joys he sees.”
