As I lay here watching the stars
My mind wonders to days a far
To the days when life was simple
To the childhood thoughts & games
Playing horseshow in the yard
With mom as the judge
Catching fireflies in a jar
And watching them shine
Fishing at the pond
With a tree branch as a pole
Playing cowboys & indians
With sticks as a gun
The simpler times were better times
Where life was easier
And the mind was clear
Drinking water from the pump
And enjoying the coldness
Playing tag at dusk
Til we collapsed on the grass
Eating watermelon outsde
Spitting the seeds on the ground
Those times are all gone
But will never be forgotten

The Romantics also believed very much so in the supernatural world. They believed in ghost/demons and this painting by John Henry Fuseli leans toward the dark side of the after life. It is even titled The Nightmare.

In the poem " Micheal " by William Wordsworth, a young man leaves his peaceful home in the mountains to live in the city and he becomes permanently corrupt. The romantics felt that city life was horrendous and that it took away from being able to enjoy the small things in life. This poem kind of ties into that ideology that city life is no good.
