Bigger and bigger the bulk of ocean, since

But brighter traits with evil mixed;
And there are hues not always faded,

The harmless rabbit gambols with its young
Across the trampled towing-path, where late
A troop of laughing boys in
jostling
throng
Cheered with their noisy cries the racing eight;
The gossamer, with ravelled silver threads,
Works at its little loom, and from the dusky red-eaved sheds
Of the lone Farm a flickering light shines out
Where the swinked shepherd drives his bleating flock
Back to their wattled sheep-cotes, a faint shout
Comes from some Oxford boat at Sandford lock,
And starts the moor-hen from the sedgy rill,
And the dim lengthening shadows flit like swallows up the hill.

With thee thus wandering,
moralizing

Stealing glad thoughts from grief,
And happy, though I sigh.

living creature in nature are not seen in the sharp contours of their
isolation; they are viewed and interpreted in the atmosphere that

Harmonious numbers; as the wakeful Bird
Sings darkling, and in

Tunes her nocturnal Note.
