SONNET LV. Written after seeing Rydal Lake.
8th Oct. 1807.
Wild is the lake, dark in autumnal gloom!
And white its surf rolls in the silvery gleam;
Swift lights that flit like phantoms in a dream,
Or white robed spirits hovering o'er a tomb
The shades of autumn fitfully illume.
The plaintive winds now swelling in a stream
Of deep-toned music, now subsiding, seem
To frame a dirge for Nature's faded bloom.
The yellow leaf whirls frequent in the air;
From the full floating clouds propitious showers,
As with an infant's playfulness repair
To variegate the visionary hours:
The elements at work exhaust their powers,
From the bard's heart, to dissipate all care.
