Sonnets by the Rev. Charles Strong | ||
XXVIII.
I stood at gaze where the free hills arise,
Whence rocks 'mid deepest solitudes are seen,
And glimmering through dark foliage, the blue sheen
Of Ocean stained with heaven's own sapphire dyes:
Whence rocks 'mid deepest solitudes are seen,
And glimmering through dark foliage, the blue sheen
Of Ocean stained with heaven's own sapphire dyes:
Then into the deep air I raised my eyes;
The stedfast dome was cloudless and serene,
Fit roof to over-arch so fair a scene,
For earth in loveliness vied with the skies.
The stedfast dome was cloudless and serene,
Fit roof to over-arch so fair a scene,
For earth in loveliness vied with the skies.
Enrolled, methought, among a happier race,
I felt immortal moments as I said,
Death finds no entrance here, and Sin no place:
I felt immortal moments as I said,
Death finds no entrance here, and Sin no place:
Then quick to mark where recent footsteps led,
I saw One bending o'er the furrow's trace,
And on his brow the primal sentence read.
I saw One bending o'er the furrow's trace,
And on his brow the primal sentence read.
