Popular passages
Page 51 - Piper in 1830. Who can o'er thy summer tide, Winding Orwell, ever glide, Nor with raptured eye confess Many scenes of loveliness Spreading fair thy banks along, Subjects meet for poet's song? But the scene I love the best Here is faithfully expressed By the artist's skilful hand — Mightier than wizard's wand. Yes! old Freston, stern and gray, Looking o'er the watery way, Hath, to me, more charms than all — Wooded park, or lordly hall.
