And now, perch'd proudly on the topmost spray

And now, perch'd proudly on the topmost spray,

The sooty blackbird chaunts his vespers shrill;

While twilight spreads his robe of sober grey,

And to their bowers the rooks loud cawing wing their way;

And bright behind the Cambrian mountains hoar

Flames the red beam; while on the distant east,

Led by her star, the horned moon looks o'er

The bending forest, and with rays increast

Ascends; while trembling on the dappled west

The purple radience shifts and dies away;.mw-parser-output .wst-pline{color:#2E8B57;font-size:83%}.mw-parser-output .wst-pline-default2{margin-left:1em}.mw-parser-output .wst-pline-r{float:right;text-indent:0;margin-left:1em}.mw-parser-output .wst-pline-l{float:left;text-align:right;margin-left:-3em;width:2.5em}.mw-parser-output .wst-pline-or{float:right;text-align:right;margin-right:-3em;width:2.5em}.mw-parser-output .wst-pline-n{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .wst-pline-i{font-style:italic}10

The willows with a deeper green imprest

Nod o'er the brooks; the brooks with gleamy ray

Glide on, and holy Peace assumes her woodland sway.

.........

Sooth'd by the murmurs of a plaintive stream,

A wild romantic dell its fragrance shed;

Safe from the thunder shower and scorching beam

Their faery charms the summer bowers display'd;

Wild by the banks the bashful cowslips spread,

And from the rocks above each ivied seat,19

The spotted foxgloves hung the purple head,

And lowly violets kiss'd the wanderer's feet;

Sure never Hybla's bees rov'd through a wild so sweet.

As winds the streamlet serpentine along,

So leads a solemn walk its bowery way,

The pale-leaved palms and darker limes among,

To where a grotto lone and secret lay;

The yellow broom, where chirp the linnets gay,

Waves round the cave; and to the blue-streaked skies

A shattered rock towers up in fragments grey:

The she-goat from its height the landscape eyes,

And calls her wander'd young, the call each bank replies.31
