To see this melancholy knight
In such a dismal and hapless case;
His hat

His plumage broken, his doublet rent,
His beard and flowing locks forlorn,
Matted, dishevelled, and unshorn,
His boots with dust and mire besprent;
But dignified in his disgrace,
And wearing an unblushing face.

Advances the palate of that alien mouth
Pale, rosy as a shell from the Spanish Main.

The still vale lengthens underneath the shade;
While in soft gloom the
scattering
bowers recede,
Green dewy lights adorn the freshened mead, 1815.

Adam Davy's Five Dreams about Edward II - 1389 |

In every cry of every man,
In every infant's cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forged manacles I hear:
How the chimney-sweeper's cry
Every
blackening
church appals,
And the hapless soldier's sigh
Runs in blood down palace-walls.

Of tasting anything in its bite
Unless your
princely
lover cares
In that mighty brush of hair
To breathe out, like a diamond,
The cry of Glory stifled there.

The palaces of Nature, whose vast walls
Have pinnacled in clouds their snowy scalps,
And throned Eternity in icy halls
Of cold sublimity, where forms and falls
The avalanche--the
thunderbolt
of snow!

Even like this maid, before I was called forth
From the retirement of my native hills, 175
I loved whate'er I saw: nor lightly loved,
But most intensely; never dreamt of aught
More grand, more fair, more
exquisitely
framed
Than those few nooks to which my happy feet
Were limited.
