HAPPY is England! I could be content | |
To see no other verdure than its own; | |
To feel no other breezes than are blown | |
Through its tall woods with high romances blent: | |
Yet do I sometimes feel a languishment | 5 |
For skies Italian, and an inward groan | |
To sit upon an Alp as on a throne, | |
And half forget what world or worldling meant. | |
Happy is England, sweet her artless daughters; | |
Enough their simple loveliness for me, | 10 |
Enough their whitest arms in silence clinging: | |
Yet do I often warmly burn to see | |
Beauties of deeper glance, and hear their singing, | |
And float with them about the summer waters. | |
