In Summer
HOW plain and height
With dewdrops[183]are bright！
How pearls have crown’d
The plants all around!
How sighs the breeze
Thro’thicket and trees!
How loudly in the sun’s clear rays
The sweet birds carol[184]forth their lays！
But,ah!above,
Where saw I my love,
Within her room,
Small,mantled in gloom,
Enclosed around,
Where sunlight was drown’d,
How little there was earth to me,
With all its beauteous majesty[185]！
1776.*
