MILL AT LISSOY (Frontispiece). PAGE GOLDSMITH'S TOMB IN THE TEMPLE CHURCHYARD xvii THE TRAVELLER. Or where Campania's plain forsaken lies 5 Bless'd that abode, where want and pain repair 6 Even now, where Alpine solitudes ascend 7 Ye lakes, whose vessels catch the busy gale 8 The shuddering tenant of the frigid zone 9 Basks in the glare, or stems the tepid wave 10 While oft some temple's mouldering tops between 12 In florid beauty groves and fields appear 13 A mistress or a saint in every grove 14xxi Where the bleak Swiss their stormy mansions tread 16 With patient angle trolls the finny deep 17 How often have I led thy sportive choir 18 The willow-tufted bank, the gliding sail 21 There gentle music melts on every spray 24 Where wild Oswego spreads her swamps around 27 THE DESERTED VILLAGE. The never-failing brook, the busy mill 32 The shelter'd cot, the cultivated farm 33 And many a gambol frolick'd o'er the ground 34 The hollow-sounding bittern guards its nest 35 Where once the cottage stood, the hawthorn grew 37 The swain responsive as the milk-maid sung 38 And fill'd each pause the nightingale had made 39 To pick her wintry faggot from the thorn 40 The village preacher's modest mansion rose 41 Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride 42 At church, with meek and unaffected grace 43 Low lies that house, where nut-brown draughts inspir'd 45 No more the farmer's news, the barber's tale 45 Space for his lake, his park's extended bounds 48 Where the poor houseless, shivering female lies 50 Her modest looks the cottage might adorn 51 Where crouching tigers wait their hapless prey 52 The cooling brook, the grassy-vested green 53 And left a lover's for a father's arms 54xxii Downward they move, a melancholy band 56 THE HERMIT. Then turn, to-night, and freely share whate'er my cell bestows 58 The hermit trimm'd his little fire, and cheer'd his pensive guest 61 And when, beside me in the dale; he caroll'd lays of love 64 THE CAPTIVITY. Ye hills of Lebanon, with cedars crown'd 69 Fierce is the tempest rolling along the furrow'd main 74 As panting flies the hunted hind, where brooks refreshing stray 80 O Babylon! how art thou fall'n 83 THE HAUNCH OF VENISON 90 THE DOUBLE TRANSFORMATION 102 AN ELEGY ON THE DEATH OF A MAD DOG 109 THRENODIA AUGUSTALIS 116 ON A BEAUTIFUL YOUTH STRUCK BLIND BY LIGHTNING 125 SONG—"THE THREE PIGEONS" 130 BIRDS 142 EPILOGUE WRITTEN FOR MR.
