XXXVIII.

Louisa! guarding still the name of Winn,
Rememberest thou Devonia's vernal hue,
Her orchards blooming flowery vales within,
Her dewy skies, and sea of softest blue?
Rememberest Greenway, and th' expanding view
Of Dart's full waters, Becky's thundering din,
And northward, where, oak-garlanded anew,
Down from her mountain-lair career'd the Linn?
That valley too, strange wilderness of stone,
And the bold path hung midway from the surge,
And sky-built crags, old Druids' misty throne—
These scenes remembered, I too may emerge
Who gazed with thee, however dimly shown,
Content, if seen within the picture's verge.
