To the River Cherwell - ZaunköniG - 30.07.2007
Cherwell, how pleased along thy willowed edge
Erewhile I strayed, or when the morn began
To tinge the distant turret's gleamy fan,
Or evening glimmered o'er the sighing sedge!
And now reposed on thy lorn banks once more,
I bid the pipe farewell, and that sad lay
Whose music on my melancholy way
I wooed, amid thy waving willows hoar,
Seeking awhle to rest - till the bright sun
Of joy returns, as when Heaven's beauteous bow
Beams on the night-storm's passing wings below. -
Whate'er betide, yet something have I won
Of solace, that may bear me on serene,
'Till eve's last hush shall close the silent scene.
