while I speak, the labouring Sun His glad deliverance has begun: The cypress waves her sombre plume More cheerily; and town and tower, The vineyard and the olive-bower, Their lustre re-assume ! O Ye, who guard and grace my home While in far-distant lands we roam, What countenance hath this Day put on for you ? While we looked round with favoured eyes, Did sullen mists hide lake and skies 71 And mountains from your view ? Or was it given you to behold Like vision, pensive though not cold, From t...he smooth breast of gay Winander- mere ? Saw ye the soft yet awful veil Spread over Grasmere's lovely dale, Helvellyn's brow severe ? I ask in vain — and know far less If sickness, sorrow, or distress 80 Have spared my Dwelling to this hour; Sad blindness ! but ordained to prove Our faith in Heaven's unfailing love And all-controlling power. XXVII THE THREE COTTAGE GIRLS 1820. 1822 How blest the Maid whose heart — yet free From Love's uneasy sovereignty — Beats with a fancy running high, Her simple cares to magnify; Whom Labour, never urged to toil, Hath cherished on a healthful soil; Who knows not pomp, who heeds not pelf; Whose heaviest sin it is to look Askance upon her pretty Self Reflected in some crystal brook; 10 Whom grief hath spared — who sheds no tear But in sweet pity; and can hear Another's praise from envy clear.
