(1833–1892) Indien


The Hills.

How sweet 'twere here an anchorite to dwell,
⁠Here in the presence of this white cascade!
⁠To muse at noon beneath this grateful shade,
With bead and crucifix to haunt this cell;

Fresh wholesome fruits to gather in the dell,
⁠At early morn what time broad lights invade
⁠The dew-gemmed coverts of the peaceful glade,
And listening silence broods o'er rock and fell;

With solemn cheer to mark at eve on high
⁠The stars leap forth, to lie on this smooth stone
Strewed with crisp leaves, and hear the owlet's cry

⁠Borne on the breeze from crag and cavern lone,
Or close in balmy sleep the languid eye,
⁠Lulled by the deep-voiced Teesta's soothing tone.
