Title
Bush Hill Poem
Subject
A beautiful poem written about the beautiful plantation owned by R.M. Scott
Description
Retired and apart from the world’s busy hum,
This rural and lovely retreat,
By the genius of talent and taste, has become
To the stranger and curious, a treat.
’Tis a model, deserving of copy from all
Who wish’to improve their estates;
’Tis a spot, where the spring & the summer and fall,
Man’s bosom delighted elates.
Should I search far & wide, there is not a place
My soul would prefer to ‘BUSH-HILL’
For Natural charms, and for many a grace
Conferr’d by industry and skill.
