SONNET V. THE WINTER's MORN.
Artist unseen! that dipt in frozen dewHast on the glitt'ring glass thy pencil laid,
Ere from yon sun the transient visions fade,
Swift let me trace the forms thy fancy drew!
Thy tow'rs and palaces of diamond hue,
Rivers and lakes of lucid crystal made,
And hung in air hoar trees of branching shade,
That liquid pearl distil;—thy scenes renew,
Whate'er old bards, or later fictions feign,
Of secret grottos underneath the wave,
Where Nereids roof with spar the amber cave;
Or bow'rs of bliss, where sport the fairy train;
Who frequent by the moonlight wand'rer seen,
Circle with radiant gems the dewy green.
