INSCRIPTION FOR THE WATERFALL AT HAYNE.
DEDICATED TO LORD BYRON.
Breathe to the leafy woods the spell of fame,
And teach the murmuring waters Byron's name.
So shall the soft wings of the coming breeze
People with glowing forms the cloistered trees;
And o'er yon wave beneath the willow shine
The scenes of Leman and the hues of Rhine.
1827.
