SONNET XIV. TO THE SAME.

6th June, 1800.
Wilt thou with me the rifted mountain seek?
Say, shall I feel thine arm entwin'd in mine,
See nature's healthful blush adorn thy cheek,
And catch the gleams of sympathy divine
Intelligibly traced in looks like thine?
Oh, Maiden, shall our full hearts inly speak
Thanks to the God of nature? Near some pine,
Which sobs, and waves, to gales from mountains bleak,
Whose knotted roots transparent fountains lave,
Say, shall we lift our eyes, and as we see
Nature's unutterable majesty,
The rock, the hill, the lake, the woods that wave,
For all the wonders which his bounty gave,
Praise Him who “habiteth eternity.”
