Shaped like a house, and build a house there,
Far from the sea-board, far from the sound

Harried with thoughts of war and lists of dead,
His beauty met me like a fresh wind blowing,

Nor kept by Nature for herself, nor made by man his own,
From home and company remote and every playful joy,
Served, tending a few sheep and goats, a ragged Norman Boy.

Up the tumultuous brook of Green-head Ghyll,
You will suppose that with an upright path
Your feet must struggle; in such bold ascent

He seemed to scorn their vain delights.
