SONNET X. TO A SISTER.
4th June, 1800.
Oh! shall we visit those high scenes again?
Say, shall our spirits mount as we descry
Those wavy mountains o'er the western main,
'Mid the deep colours of the evening sky?
Say, shall we turn to them a grateful eye,
And think of all our toil and ruth and pain,
Since we with petulant inconstancy,
Have sought for peace, where peace is sought in vain?
How could we quit thee, Nature? quit thy forms
Sublime and simple, pure and holy ever?
How cease to wonder at thy solemn storms,
How from thy softer charms our spirit sever
And hope (thee once enjoyed), where art deforms,
To find some solace for the base endeavor?
