A silver streak

Where winding gash wirls round its wildest scene

On this romantic bend I sit me down

On that side view the meads their smoothing green

Edg'd with the peeping hamlets checkering brown

Here the steep hill as dripping headlong down

While glides the stream a silver streak between

As glides the shaded clouds along the sky

Brightning & deep'ning loosing as they're seen

In light & shade—so when old willows lean

Thus their broad shadow—runs the river bye

With tree & bush repleat a wilderd scene

& mossd & Ivyd sparkling on my eye—

O thus wild musing am I doubly blest

My woes unheeding—& my heart at rest
