lirik lagu james thomson - richard mitchley - hymn on solitude
hail, mildly pleasing solitude
companion of the wise and good
but from whose holy piercing eye
the herd of fools and villains fly
oh! how i love with thee to walk
and listen to thy whispered talk
which innocence and truth imparts
and melts the most obdurate hearts
a thousand shapes you wear with ease
and still in every shape you please
now wrapt in some mysterious dream
a lone philosopher you seem;
now quick from hill to vale you fly
and now you sweep the vaulted sky;
a shepherd next, you haunt the plain
and warble forth your oaten strain;
a lover now, with all the grace
of that sweet passion in your face;
then, calmed to friendship, you assume
the gentle looking hertford’s bloom
as, with her musidora, she
(her musidora fond of thee)
amid the long~withdrawing vale
awakes the rivalled nightingale
thine is the balmy breath of morn
just as the dew~bent rose is born;
and, while meridian fervors beat
thine is the woodland dumb retreat;
but chief, when evening scenes decay
and the faint landscape swims away
thine is the doubtful soft decline
and that best hour of musing thine
descending angels bless thy train
thy virtues of the sage and swain—
plain innocence, in white arrayed
before thee lifts her fearless head;
religion’s beams around thee shine
and cheer thy glooms with light divine;
about thee sports sweet liberty
and rapt urania sings to thee
oh, let me pierce thy secret cell
and in thy deep recesses dwell!
perhaps from norwood’s oak~clad hill
when meditation has her fill
i just may cast my careless eyes
where london’s spiry turrets rise
think of its crimes, it cares, its pain,—
then shield me in the woods again
