On Seeing The Foundation Preparing For The Erection Of Rydal Chapel Westmoreland	A
	-
	-
I	-
	-
Blest is this Isle our native Land	B
Where battlement and moated gate	C
Are objects only for the hand	B
Of hoary Time to decorate	C
Where shady hamlet town that breathes	D
Its busy smoke in social wreaths	E
No rampart's stern defense require	F
Nought but the heaven directed spire	G
And steeple tower with pealing bells	H
Far heard our only citadels	H
	-
II	-
	-
O Lady from a noble line	I
Of chieftains sprung who stoutly bore	J
The spear yet gave to works divine	I
A bounteous help in days of yore	J
As records mouldering in the Dell	K
Of Nightshade haply yet may tell	K
Thee kindred aspirations moved	L
To build within a vale beloved	M
For Him upon whose high behests	H
All peace depends all safety rests	H
	-
III	-
	-
How fondly will the woods embrace	H
This daughter of thy pious care	N
Lifting her front with modest grace	H
To make a fair recess more fair	N
And to exalt the passing hour	F
Or soothe it with a healing power	F
Drawn from the Sacrifice fulfilled	O
Before this rugged soil was tilled	O
Or human habitation rose	H
To interrupt the deep repose	H
	-
IV	-
	-
Well may the villagers rejoice	H
Nor heat nor cold nor weary ways	H
Will be a hindrance to the voice	H
That would unite in prayer and praise	H
More duly shall wild wandering Youth	P
Receive the curb of sacred truth	P
Shall tottering Age bent earthward hear	Q
The Promise with uplifted ear	Q
And all shall welcome the new ray	R
Imparted to their sabbath day	R
	-
V	-
	-
Nor deem the Poet's hope misplaced	O
His fancy cheated that can see	-
A shade upon the future cast	O
Of time's pathetic sanctity	-
Can hear the monitory clock	S
Sound o'er the lake with gentle shock	S
At evening when the ground beneath	T
Is ruffled o'er with cells of death	U
Where happy generations lie	-
Here tutored for eternity	-
	-
VI	-
	-
Lives there a man whose sole delights	H
Are trivial pomp and city noise	H
Hardening a heart that loathes or slights	H
What every natural heart enjoys	H
Who never caught a noon tide dream	V
From murmur of a running stream	V
Could strip for aught the prospect yields	H
To him their verdure from the fields	H
And take the radiance from the clouds	H
In which the sun his setting shrouds	H
	-
VII	-
	-
A soul so pitiably forlorn	W
If such do on this earth abide	O
May season apathy with scorn	W
May turn indifference to pride	O
And still be not unblest compared	O
With him who grovels self debarred	O
From all that lies within the scope	X
Of holy faith and Christian hope	X
Or shipwrecked kindles on the coast	O
False fires that others may be lost	O
	-
VIII	-
	-
Alas that such perverted zeal	Y
Should spread on Britain's favoured ground	O
That public order private weal	Y
Should e'er have felt or feared a wound	O
From champions of the desperate law	Y
Which from their own blind hearts they draw	Y
Who tempt their reason to deny	-
God whom their passions dare defy	-
And boast that they alone are free	-
Who reach this dire extremity	-
	-
IX	H
	-
But turn we from these bold bad men	Z
The way mild Lady that hath led	O
Down to their dark opprobrious den	Z
Is all too rough for Thee to tread	O
Softly as morning vapours glide	O
Down Rydal cove from Fairfield's side	O
Should move the tenor of 'his' song	A2
Who means to charity no wrong	A2
Whose offering gladly would accord	O
With this day's work in thought and word	O
	-
X	H
	-
Heaven prosper it may peace and love	-
And hope and consolation fall	Y
Through its meek influence from above	-
And penetrate the hearts of all	Y
All who around the hallowed Fane	B2
Shall sojourn in this fair domain	B2
Grateful to Thee while service pure	C2
And ancient ordinance shall endure	C2
For opportunity bestowed	O
To kneel together and adore their God	O
