Anna Seward (Анна Сьюард)

Sonnet 7. By Derwent's rapid stream as oft I stray'd

By Derwent's rapid stream as oft I stray'd,
    With Infancy's light step and glances wild,
    And saw vast rocks, on steepy mountains pil'd,
    Frown o'er th' umbrageous glen; or pleas'd survey'd
The cloudy moonshine in the shadowy glade,
    Romantic Nature to th' enthusiast Child
    Grew dearer far than when serene she smil'd,
    In uncontrasted loveliness array'd.
But O! in every Scene, with sacred sway,
    Her graces fire me; from the bloom that spreads
    Resplendent in the lucid morn of May,
To the green light the little Glow-worm sheds
    On mossy banks, when midnight glooms prevail,
    And softest Silence broods o'er all the dale.

1. Sonnet 53. The knell of Whitehead tolls!—his cares are past
2. Sonnet 69. Time, and thy charms, thou fanciest will redeem
3. Sonnet 13. Thou child of Night, and Silence, balmy Sleep
4. Sonnet 80. As lightens the brown Hill to vivid green
5. Sonnet 58. Not the slow Hearse, where nod the sable plumes
