Life in Newburgh on Ythan

By Talpa

Tranquility at the mouth of the Ythan

Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife,
Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray;
Along the cool sequester'd vale of life

They kept the noiseless tenour of their way.

From Thomas Gray's  Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard
