QUOTES ON THE THAMES RIVER
|
|
- Oh, could I flow like thee, and make thy stream
- My great example, as it is my theme!
- Though deep, yet clear; though gentle, yet not dull;
- Strong without rage, without o'erflowing full.
JOHN DENHAM, The Thames
- Never did sun more beautifully steep
- In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;
- Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
- The river glideth at his own sweet will:
- Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
- And all that. mighty heart is lying still!
WILLIAM WORDSWORTH, Composed Upon Westminster Bridge, Sept. 3, 1802
