Fresh from the Hall of Bounty sprung	A
With glowing heart and ardent eye	B
With song and rhyme upon my tongue	A
And fairy visions dancing by	B
The mid day sun in all his pow'r	C
The backward valley painted gay	D
Mine was a road without a flower	E
Where one small streamlet cross'd the way	D
	-
Footnote On a sultry afternoon late in the summer of Euston Hall lay in my way to Thetford which place I did not reach until the evening on a visit to my sister the lines lose much of their interest except they could be read on the spot or at least at a coresponding season of the year	F
	-
What was it rous'd my soul to love	G
What made the simple brook so dear	F
It glided like the weary dove	G
And never brook seem'd half so clear	F
Cool pass'd the current o'er my feet	H
Its shelving brink for rest was made	I
But every charm was incomplete	H
For Barnham Water wants a shade	I
	-
There faint beneath the fervid sun	J
I gaz'd in ruminating mood	K
For who can see the current run	J
And snatch no feast of mental food	K
Keep pure thy soul it seem'd to say	D
Keep that fair path by wisdom trod	L
That thou may'st hope to wind thy way	D
To fame worth boasting and to God	L
	-
Long and delightful was the dream	M
A waking dream that Fancy yields	N
Till with regret I left the stream	M
And plung'd across the barren fields	N
To where of old rich abbeys smil'd	O
In all the pomp of gothic taste	P
By fond tradition proudly styl'd	O
The mighty City in the East	Q
	-
Near on a slope of burning sand	R
The shepherd boys had met to play	D
To hold the plains at their command	R
And mark the trav'ller's leatless way	D
The trav'ller with a cheerful look	S
Would every pining thought forbear	F
If boughs but shelter'd Barnham brook	S
He'd stop and leave his blessing there	F
	-
The Danish mounds of partial green	T
Still as each mouldering tower decays	U
Far o'er the bleak unwooded scene	T
Proclaim their wond'rous length of days	U
My burning feet my aching sight	V
Demanded rest why did I weep	W
The moon arose and such a night	V
Good Heav'n it was a sin to sleep	W
	-
All rushing came thy hallow'd sighs	X
Sweet Melancholy from my breast	Y
'Tis here that eastern greatness lies	X
That Might Renown and Wisdom rest	Y
Here funeral rites the priesthood gave	Z
To chiefs who sway'd prodigious powers	A2
The Bigods and the Mowbrays brave	Z
From Framlingham's imperial towers	A2
	-
Full of the mighty deeds of yore	F
I bade good night the trembling beam	M
Fancy e'en heard the battle's roar	F
Of what but slaughter could I dream	M
Bless'd be that night that trembling beam	M
Peaceful excursions Fancy made	I
All night I heard the bubbling stream	M
Yet Barnham Water wants a shade	I
	-
Whatever hurts my country's fame	B2
When wits and mountaineers deride	C2
To me grows serious for I name	B2
My native plains and streams with pride	C2
No mountain charms have I to sing	D2
No loftier minstrel's rights invade	I
From trifles oft my raptures spring	D2
Sweet Barnham Water wants a shade	I
