LINES COMPOSED WHILE CLIMBING THE LEFT ASCENT OF BROCKLEY, by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: With many a pause and oft reverted eye
Last Line: Enchanting spot! O were my sara here!
Subject(s): Mountain Climbing
First Line: With many a pause and oft reverted eye
Last Line: Enchanting spot! O were my sara here!
Subject(s): Mountain Climbing
With many a pause and oft reverted eye
I climb the Coomb's ascent: sweet songsters near
Warble in shade their wild-wood melody:
Far off the unvarying Cuckoo soothes my ear.
Up scour the startling stragglers of the Flock
That on green plots o'er precipices browse:
From the deep fissures of the naked rock
The Yew tree bursts! Beneath its dark green boughs
(Mid which the May-thorn blends its blossoms white)
Where broad smooth stones jut out in mossy seats,
I rest: -- and now have gained the topmost site.
Ah! what a luxury of landscape meets
My gaze! Proud towers, and cots more dear to me,
Elm-shadow'd fields, and prospect-bounding sea!
Deep sighs my lonely heart: I drop the tear:
Enchanting spot! O were my Sara here!
