COMPOSED AT CLEVEDON, SOMERSETSHIRE
My pensive Sara! thy soft cheek reclined / Thus on mine arm, most soothing sweet it is / To sit beside our cot, our cot o'ergrown / With white-flowered Jasmin, and the broad-leaved Myrtle, / (Meet emblems they of Innocence and Love! ), / And watch the clouds, that late were rich with light, / Slow saddening round, and mark the star of eve / Serenely brilliant (such should wisdom be) / Shine opposite! How exquisite the scents / Snatched from yon bean-field! and the world so hushed!
