richard mitchley - ode written on the first of december by robert southey lyrics

Loading...

tho’ now no more the musing ear
delights to listen to the breeze
that lingers o’er the green wood shade
i love thee winter! well

sweet are the harmonies of spring
sweet is the summer’s evening gale
pleasant the autumnal winds that shake
the many+colour’d grove

and pleasant to the sober’d soul
the silence of the wintry scene
when nature shrouds her in her trance

not undelightful now to roam
thе wild heath sparkling on the sight;
not undelightful now to pacе
the forest’s ample rounds;

and see the spangled branches shine
and mark the moss of many a hue
that varies the old tree’s brown bark
or o’er the grey stone spreads

the cl+ster’d berries claim the eye
o’er the bright hollies gay green leaves
the ivy round the leafless oak
clasps its full foliage close
so virtue diffident of strength
clings to religion’s firmer aid
and by religion’s aid upheld
endures calamity

nor void of beauties now the spring
whose waters hid from summer sun
have sooth’d the thirsty pilgrim’s ear
with more than melody

the green moss shines with icey glare
the long grass bends its spear+like form
and lovely is the silvery scene
when faint the sunbeams smile

reflection too may love the hour
when nature, hid in winter’s grave
no more expands the bursting bud
or bids the flowret bloom

for nature soon in spring’s best charms
shall rise reviv’d from winter’s grave
again expand the bursting bud
and bid the flowret bloom
