In the South and West of Cornwall, the footpaths, instead of leading through or round the fields, are all on the top of the thick stone walls—some four feet high—which divide them.

He walked with God amid the multitude; No threats or smiles could his firm soul divide From that beloved presence at his side Whose still small voice silenced earth's noises rude.
