Sonnet, On Taking A Favourite Walk, After Recovery From Sickness
Ye scenes beloved! O welcome once again! Forbidden long to my desiring sight, Now, now! triumphant o'er disease and pain, I visit ye with fresh, increased delight. Vine-mantled Hills, whose heights I joy'd to climb, The Morn's sweet infant breathings to inhale; River! whose banks I roved in trance sublime, While fancy-whispering Eve spread soft her veil; And thou, O Wood, in whose moon-checkered shade The nightly songstress oft has charm'd my ear Till Morning told me I so long had stay'd: Hail all ye objects to my memory dear! Once more, to feel the transports ye impart, Health wakes my every sense and tunes my heart.
