Loading...

it was an april morning: fresh and clear
the rivulet, delighting in its strength
ran with a young man’s speed; and yet the voice
of waters which the winter had supplied
was softened down into a vernal tone
the spirit of enjoyment and desire
and hopes and wishes, from all living things
went circling, like a multitude of sounds
the budding groves seemed eager to urge on
the steps of june; as if their various hues
were only hindrances that stood between
them and their object: but, meanwhile, prevailed
such an entire contentment in the air
that every naked ash, and tardy tree
yet leafless, showed as if the countenance
with which it looked on this delightful day
were native to the summer.—up the brook
i roamed in the confusion of my heart
alive to all things and forgetting all
at length i to a sudden turning came
in this continuous glen, where down a rock
the stream, so ardent in its course before
sent forth such sallies of glad sound, that all
which i till then had heard, appeared the voice
of common pleasure: beast and bird, the lamb
the shepherd’s dog, the linnet and the thrush
vied with this waterfall, and made a song
which, while i listened, seemed like the wild growth
or like some natural produce of the air
that could not cease to be. green leaves were here;
but ’twas the foliage of the rocks—the birch
the yew, the holly, and the bright green th~rn
with hanging islands of resplendent furze:
and, on a summit, distant a short sp~ce
by any who should look beyond the dell
a single mountain~cottage might be seen
i gazed and gazed, and to myself i said
“our thoughts at least are ours; and this wild nook
my emma, i will dedicate to thee.”
——soon did the spot become my other home
my dwelling, and my out~of~doors abode
and, of the shepherds who have seen me there
to whom i sometimes in our idle talk
have told this fancy, two or three, perhaps
years after we are gone and in our graves
when they have cause to speak of this wild place
may call it by the name of emma’s dell
