John Greenleaf Whittier (Джон Гринлиф Уиттьер) The Well of Loch Maree Pennant, in his Voyage to the Hebrides, describes the holy well of Loch Maree, the waters of which were supposed to effect a miraculous cure of melancholy, trouble, and insanity. CALM on the breast of Loch Maree A little isle reposes; A shadow woven of the oak And willow o’er it closes. Within, a Druid’s mound is seen, Set round with stony warders; A fountain, gushing through the turf, Flows o’er its grassy borders. And whoso bathes therein his brow, With care or madness burning, Feels once again his healthful thought And sense of peace returning. O restless heart and fevered brain, Unquiet and unstable, That holy well of Loch Maree Is more than idle fable! Life’s changes vex, its discords stun, Its glaring sunshine blindeth, And blest is he who on his way That fount of healing findeth! The shadows of a humbled will And contrite heart are o’er it; Go read its legend,—“TRUST IN GOD”— On Faith’s white stones before it. 1850 John Greenleaf Whittier's other poems: Тема стихотворения (Poem Theme): Lakes (Lochs) (Озёра) ![]() Количество обращений к стихотворению: 1272 |
