| - | |
| Low was our pretty Cot our tallest Rose | B |
| Peep'd at the chamber window We could hear | A |
| At silent noon and eve and early morn | C |
| The Sea's faint murmur In the open air | A |
| Our Myrtles blossom'd and across the porch | D |
| Thick Jasmins twined the little landscape round | E |
| Was green and woody and refresh'd the eye | F |
| It was a spot which you might aptly call | G |
| The Valley of Seclusion Once I saw | H |
| Hallowing his Sabbath day by quietness | I |
| A wealthy son of commerce saunter by | F |
| Bristowa's citizen methought it calm'd | J |
| His thirst of idle gold and made him muse | K |
| With wiser feelings for he paus'd and look'd | L |
| With a pleas'd sadness and gaz'd all around | E |
| Then eyed our Cottage and gaz'd round again | M |
| And sigh'd and said it was a Blessed Place | N |
| And we were bless'd Oft with patient ear | A |
| Long listening to the viewless sky lark's note | O |
| Viewless or haply for a moment seen | P |
| Gleaming on sunny wings in whisper'd tones | Q |
| I've said to my Beloved 'Such sweet Girl | R |
| The inobtrusive song of Happiness | I |
| Unearthly minstrelsy then only heard | S |
| When the Soul seeks to hear when all is hush'd | T |
| And the Heart listens ' | - |
| But the time when first | U |
| From that low Dell steep up the stony Mount | V |
| I climb'd with perilous toil and reach'd the top | W |
| Oh what a goodly scene the bleak mount | V |
| The bare bleak mountain speckled thin with sheep | X |
| Grey clouds that shadowing spot the sunny fields | Y |
| And river now with bushy rocks o'erbrow'd | V |
| Now winding bright and full with naked banks | Z |
| And seats and lawns the Abbey and the wood | V |
| And cots and hamlets and faint city spire | A |
| The Channel the Islands and white sails | A2 |
| Dim coasts and cloud like hills and shoreless Ocean | B2 |
| It seem'd like Omnipresence God methought | V |
| Had built him there a Temple the whole World | V |
| Seem'd in its vast circumference | C2 |
| No profan'd my overwhelmed heart | V |
| Blest hour It was a luxury to be | D2 |
| - | |
| Ah quiet Dell dear Cot and Mount sublime | E2 |
| I was constrain'd to quit you Was it right | V |
| While my unnumber'd brethren toil'd and bled | V |
| That I should dream away the entrusted hours | F2 |
| On rose leaf beds pampering the coward heart | V |
| With feelings all too delicate for use | G2 |
| Sweet is the tear that from some Howard's eye | F |
| Drops on the cheek of one he lifts from earth | H2 |
| And he that works me good with unmov'd face | N |
| Does it but half he chills me while he aids | I2 |
| My benefactor not my brother man | J2 |
| Yet even this this cold beneficence | C2 |
| Praise praise it O my Soul oft as thou scann'st | V |
| The sluggard Pity's vision weaving tribe | K2 |
| Who sigh for Wretchedness yet shun the Wretched | V |
| Nursing in some delicious solitude | V |
| Their slothful loves and dainty sympathies | L2 |
| I therefore go and join head heart and hand | V |
| Active and firm to fight the bloodless fight | V |
| Of Science Freedom and the Truth in Christ | V |
| - | |
| Yet oft when after honourable toil | M2 |
| Rests the tir'd mind and waking loves to dream | N2 |
| My spirit shall revisit thee dear Cot | V |
| Thy Jasmin and thy window peeping Rose | B |
| And Myrtles fearless of the mild sea air | A |
| And I shall sigh fond wishes sweet Abode | V |
| Ah had none greater And that all had such | O2 |
| It might be so but the time is not yet | V |
| Speed it O Father Let thy Kingdom come | P2 |
