 | Reminiscences, in Prose and Verse |  |
I.
[Whilst others wander down their dusky dells]
Whilst others wander down their dusky dells,Pleas'd with the melodies of tinkling rills,
Or scoop dim grots or saunter round green hills,
Or climb the hedges sprent with sweet harebells,
Or mark, where hamlets crown the misty vale,
The plodding peasant and the milkmaid's pail;—
I greet Thee midst thy mountains and thy fells,
Thy sea-like lakes, thy rocks by thunders riven,
Thy cataracts flashing to the effulgent Heaven!
Such is thy scene of grandeur!—We, frail men,
Trill to the lowly grove the inglorious lay,
In concert with the redbreast and the wren:
'Tis thine, with the majestic eagle's sway
Soaring on rapid wing, to drink the golden day!
