LINES,

Composed at Grasmere, during a walk, one Evening, after a stormy day, the Author having just read in a Newspaper that the dissolution of Mr. Fox was hourly expected.



Loud is the Vale! the Voice is upWith which she speaks when storms are gone,A mighty Unison of streams!Of all her Voices, One!
Loud is the Vale;—this inland DepthIn peace is roaring like the Sea;Yon Star upon the mountain-topIs listening quietly.
