A little rule, a little sway,
A sun beam in a winter’s day,
Is all the proud and mighty have
Between the cradle and the grave.
Grongar Hill (1727)
While the wanton Zephyr sings,
And in the vale perfumes his wings.
Grongar Hill (1727)
Ever charming, ever new,
When will the landskip tire the view?
Grongar Hill (1727)
See the rivers how they run
Thro' woods and meads, in shade and sun,
Sometimes swift, sometimes slow,
Wave succeeding wave, they go
A various journey to the deep,
Like human life to endless sleep!
Grongar Hill (1727)
