XL. THE ROCK-WALK.
A Spot, whose beauty ev'n from gainful haste
Wins brief delay, long space enjoyed by those
Who the slow walk repeat, or in repose
Eye the blue waves, and sea-born breezes taste:
Wins brief delay, long space enjoyed by those
Who the slow walk repeat, or in repose
Eye the blue waves, and sea-born breezes taste:
Green swelling hills of Devon, foliage-traced,
With cliffs romantic round bright waters close—
Here blushes early, lingers late the rose,
The myrtle here survives the leafy waste.
With cliffs romantic round bright waters close—
Here blushes early, lingers late the rose,
The myrtle here survives the leafy waste.
Like isles pine-pinnacled the glassy deep
O'ershadowing, when War's loud note alarms,
Here England's battle-ships dread muster keep:
O'ershadowing, when War's loud note alarms,
Here England's battle-ships dread muster keep:
The Peasant oft, so glory's service charms,
Viewing the bannered squadrons from this steep,
Joins the bold crew and dares the strife of arms.
Viewing the bannered squadrons from this steep,
Joins the bold crew and dares the strife of arms.
