TO E. M. S. AFTER A TOUR IN CORNWALL.
In solitary Zennor have we been,—Have trod Chun's mighty castle-heap of stones,
And traced the barrows, where they laid men's bones
After some old-world battle waged between
The natives and invaders—gazed at Treen
Rock-ramparted with boulder-bastions,
As if a king of giants had lived there once
And forced his folk to build—we two have seen
The Atlantic charge unbridled on the wall
Of rock which shields the end of English land,
Have had a calm blue sea on either hand
At Galva's Carn, and watched the sunset fall
And moonlight play and dawn its glitter fount
Over the castle on the Guarded Mount.
