Sonnets by the Rev. Charles Strong | ||
XXIV.
Ere the wide waters on my view had smil'd,
From inland vale, in sunset's shapeful hue,
Oft Fancy traced their level line of blue,
And pictured cliffs where golden clouds were pil'd;
From inland vale, in sunset's shapeful hue,
Oft Fancy traced their level line of blue,
And pictured cliffs where golden clouds were pil'd;
Often the Sea-birds' wail my mind beguil'd,
I loved the boisterous home from which they flew;
From out dark pines when winds loud murmurs drew,
Methought I heard the waves in chorus wild.
I loved the boisterous home from which they flew;
From out dark pines when winds loud murmurs drew,
Methought I heard the waves in chorus wild.
At length I blest a Brother's guiding hand,
The goal was reached, and as I stood entranced,
A new world viewing from the lofty land,
The goal was reached, and as I stood entranced,
A new world viewing from the lofty land,
Sudden—around the precipice that veils
The western sky, a warrior-ship advanced,—
On the blue waste a Pyramid of Sails.
The western sky, a warrior-ship advanced,—
On the blue waste a Pyramid of Sails.
