By many a garden-plot and rustic fence,
They all were his; and clearer now he sees

Yon ruined tower;-the church-spire shines! he knows
His own sweet linden-shade!
-And are there not;

By Deben's gentle stream and Orwell's shore,
Hearts of thine own, and tender as the thoughts
Of love itself, wishes, and hopes, and fears,
That flow to thee from breasts as pure as truth,
And in that truth made strong? E'en now of thee,
Amid her evening walk or morning meal,
Remembrance speaks, and voices from afar
Come to thee from the turf where COLLINS lies,
And where, through peaceful valleys as she glides,
Too early lost, her poet Lavant mourns.

BENHALL, June 22, 1823.

JOHN MITFORD.

EXPOSTULATION: Addressed to BERNARD BARTON.

A silent dwelling, hid from vulgar eye,
Amid its bowers of cedar mantled round,
Just hears, above, the gale of evening sigh,

Or Ocean breathe from out his depths profound.

And welcome was the hour, when to those glades
The gentle minstrel bent his willing feet;
When, like the pensive genius of the shades,

He spread, beneath their boughs, his noonday seat.

There manhood met him with the hand of truth,
And greetings too from softer lips were there;
And e'en the frolic innocence of youth

Would half beguile him of his weight of care.

Then wherefore should the purple summer come,
And fill the bosom of the vale with flowers,
If neither song of birds, nor bees' wild hum,
Can win the bard to his forsaken bowers?

For him unrolled each treasured volume lies,
Her evening-lute for him has beauty strung;
And haste, oh ! haste, the voice of friendship cries,
That oft in rapture on those lips has hung.

The primrose-tufts shall breathe along the plain;
Her violet-showers shall soften'd APRIL bring;
But shall these groves be vocal once again?
And will the Nightingale return with Spring?
BENHALL, SUFFOLK..
