Nor the river-god's winding course in flood,

Walpole however 'had not the happiness of
understanding the Saxon language,' and it was not until after he had

Thomas Chatterton - Rowley Poems |
|
Let the contentious spirit know
At this hour when we are silent
The stalks of
multiple
lilies grow
Far too tall for our reason
And not as the riverbank weeps
When its tedious game tells lies
Claiming abundance should reach
Into my first surprise
On hearing the whole sky and the map
Behind my steps, without end, bear witness
By the ebbing wave itself that
This country never existed.
