SONNET.
[I journeyed on, and journeyed with the Storm]
I journeyed on, and journeyed with the Storm,The unruffled Waterfalls fresh beauty gained,
Fast in the fetters of the frost enchained,
They charmed with many a wild fantastic form,
Lacing the steeps with Beauty!—Soft and warm
The Moon's pale fire seemed, as she smiling reigned
O'er icy regions!—the smooth Snow unstained
Fell noiseless round—the flakes with their white swarm
Covered all objects—'twas as though the rays
Of that clear moon fell from Heaven's distant height,
And showered themselves in pearly rains!—the gaze
Surprising with profound and full delight—
Soft the Snows made the Mountains rugged ways,
And pure the Scene unto the gladdened sight!
