Pagina 136 - And wait the' approaching sign to strike, at once, Into the general choir. Even mountains, vales, And forests, seem impatient to demand The promis'd sweetness. Man superior walks Amid the glad creation, musing praise, And looking lively gratitude. At last, The clouds consign their treasures to the fields ; And, softly shaking on the dimpled pool Prelusive drops, let all their moisture flow, In large effusion, o'er the freshen'd world. The stealing shower is scarce to patter heard, By such as wander...
Pagina 135 - Sits on the horizon round a settled gloom: Not such as wintry storms on mortals shed, Oppressing life ; but lovely, gentle, kind, And full of every hope and every joy, The wish of nature. Gradual sinks the breeze Into a perfect calm ; that not a breath Is heard to quiver through the closing woods, Or rustling turn the many-twinkling leaves Of aspen tall.
Pagina 436 - Alas! what boots it with incessant care To tend the homely slighted shepherd's trade, And strictly meditate the thankless Muse? Were it not better done as others use, To sport with Amaryllis in the shade, Or with the tangles of Neaera's hair? Fame is the spur that the clear spirit doth raise (That last infirmity of noble mind) To scorn delights, and live laborious days...
Pagina 135 - In glassy breadth, seem through delusive lapse • Forgetful of their course. Tis silence all, And pleasing expectation. Herds and flocks Drop the dry sprig, and mute-imploring eye The falling verdure. Hush'd in short suspense, The plumy people streak their wings with oil, To throw the lucid moisture trickling off; And wait th' approaching sign to strike, at once, Into the general choir.
Pagina 135 - Which one possess'd, nor pause, nor quiet knew The sure associate, ere with trembling speed He found its path and fix'd unerring there. Such is the secret union, when we feel A song, a flower, a name, at once restore Those long-connected scenes...
Pagina 136 - Is deep enrich'd with vegetable life; Till, in the western sky, the downward sun Looks out. effulgent, from amid the flush Of broken clouds, gay-shifting to his beam. The rapid radiance instantaneous strikes The' illumined mountain, through the forest streams, Shakes on the floods, and in a yellow mist, Far smoking o'er the' interminable plain, In twinkling myriads lights the dewy gems.
Pagina 136 - Beneath th' umbrageous multitude of leaves. But who can hold the shade, while Heaven descends In universal bounty, shedding herbs, And fruits, and flowers, on Nature's ample lap ? Swift Fancy fired anticipates their growth; And, while the milky nutriment distils, Beholds the kindling country colour round.
Pagina 136 - He wondering views the bright enchantment bend, Delightful, o'er the radiant fields, and runs To catch the falling glory; but amazed Beholds the' amusive arch before him fly, Then vanish quite away.
Pagina 215 - Tis sweet to think, that, where'er we rove, We are sure to find something blissful and dear, And that, when we're far from the lips we love, We've but to make love to the lips we are near...
Pagina 134 - The external scenes, yet oft the ideas gain From that conjunction an eternal tie, And sympathy unbroken. Let the mind...
