With JllaDY recognitions dim and ft.Lint,
And 801oewh&t of a. aad perplexity,
The picture ofthe mind revives lloQ'&in:
While here lst.aud, not ouly with the sense
Of present pleasure, but with pleasing thought.
That in this moment there is life a.nd food
For fu t ure yurs. And so I dare to hope,
Tllongh che.nged, no dou ht, fl'om what I wa.a when first
I ca.me among these hills; when lill:tt a roe
I bounded o'er the mountains, by tho sides
Of the deep rivers, and the lonely atream1,
"Wherever nature led: more like a. man
Flying from something that he dre&da, \han one
Who sought the thing he loved. For na-ture theu
(The co&l"Ber pleasurE!$ of my boyiah rlay1,

What thell I wsa. The soun•ling cntaract
Haunted me like a p11.88ioo : the taU rock,
The mountain, aud the deep and gloomy wood,
Their colours and their forma, were then to me
An appetite ; a feeling Rnd a love,
That had no need of a remoter charm,
By thought supplied, nor aoy intereat
Unborrow'd from the eye.-That time is put,

And all ita dizzy raptu~eL Not for this
