With low soft murmur, like a distant bee, Some spake, by thought-perplexing fears betrayed ; And some a bold unerring answer made : How fluttered then thy anxious heart for me, Beloved Mother !

第 8 頁 - I was the Dreamer, they the Dream; I roamed Delighted through the motley spectacle; Gowns grave, or gaudy, doctors, students, streets, Courts, cloisters, flocks of churches, gateways, towers : Migration strange for a stripling of the hills, A northern villager.
第 12 頁 - mid her sylvan combs, Thou in bewitching words, with happy heart, Didst chaunt the vision of that Ancient Man, The bright-eyed Mariner, and rueful woes Didst utter of the Lady Christabel...
第 9 頁 - I sate in the open sun, And from the rubbish gathered up a stone, And pocketed the relic, in the guise Of an enthusiast; yet, in honest truth, I looked for something that I could not find, Affecting more emotion than I felt...
第 18 頁 - WHEN first, descending from the moorlands, I saw the Stream of Yarrow glide Along a bare and open valley, The Ettrick Shepherd was my guide.
