(Composed at Clevedon, Somersetshire) 

My pensive Sara! thy soft cheek reclined 
Thus on mine arm, most soothing sweet it is 
To sit beside our Cot, our Cot o'ergrown 
With white-flower'd Jasmin, and the broad-leav'd Myrtle, 
(Meet emblems they of Innocence and Love!) 
And watch the clouds, that late were rich with light, 
Slow saddening round, and mark the star of eve 
Serenely brilliant (such should Wisdom be) 
Shine opposite! How exquisite the scents 
Snatch'd from yon bean-field! and the world so hushed! 
The stilly murmur of the distant Sea 
Tells us of silence. 
                             And that simplest Lute, 
Placed length-ways in the clasping casement, hark! 
How by the desultory breeze caress'd, 
Like some coy maid  half yielding to her lover, 
It pours such sweet upbraiding, as must needs 
Tempt to repeat the wrong! And now, its strings 
Boldlier swept, the long sequacious notes 
Over delicious surges sink and rise, 
Such a soft floating witchery of sound 
As twilight Elfins make, when they at eve 
Voyage on gentle gales from Fairy-Land, 
Where Melodies round honey-dripping flowers, 
Footless and wild, like birds of Paradise, 
Nor pause, nor perch, hovering on untam'd wing! 
O! the one Life within us and abroad, 
Which meets all motion and becomes its soul, 
A light in sound, a sound-like power in light, 
Rhythm in all thought, and joyance every where- 
Methinks, it should have been impossible 
Not to love all things in a world so fill'd; 
Where the breeze warbles, and the mute still air 
Is Music slumbering on her instrument. 

   And thus, my Love! as on the midway slope 
Of yonder hill I stretch my limbs at noon, 
Whilst through my half-clos'd eye-lids I behold 
The sunbeams dance, like diamonds, on the main. 
And tranquil muse upon tranquillity; 
Full many a thought uncall'd and undetain'd, 
And many idle flitting phantasies, 
Traverse my indolent and passive brain, 
As wild and various as the random gales 
That swell and flutter on this subject Lute! 
   And what if all of animated nature 
Be but organic Harps diversely fram'd, 
That tremble into thought, as o'er them sweeps 
Plastic and vast, one intellectual breeze, 
At once the Soul of each, and God of all? 

   But thy more serious eye a mild reproof 
Darts, O beloveacuted Woman! nor such thoughts 
Dim and unhallow'd dost thou not reject, 
And biddest me walk humbly with my God. 
Meek Daughter in the family of Christ! 
Well hast thou said and holily disprais'd 
These shapings of the unregenerate mind; 
Bubbles that glitter as they rise and break 
On vain Philosophy's aye-babbling spring. 
For never guiltless may I speak of him, 
The Incomprehensible! save when with awe 
I praise him, and with Faith that inly feels; 
Who with his saving mercies healeacuted me, 
A sinful and most miserable man, 
Wilder'd and dark, and gave me to possess 
Peace, and this Cot, and thee, heart-honour'd Maid!

Mon Sara songeur ! la joue molle thy a reposé ainsi sur le bras de 
mine, le bonbon le plus calmant qu'il doit se reposer près de notre 
lit de camp, notre o'ergrown de lit de camp avec le jasmin 
blanc-flower'd, et le large-leav'd myrte, (le rassemblement les 
symbolise de l'innocence et de l'amour !) Et observer les nuages, 
c'étaient en retard riche avec la lumière, s'attrister lent en rond, 
et marquent l'étoile de l'éclat brillant de Serenely de la veille 
(tels si la sagesse est) vis-à-vis de ! Comment exquis les parfums 
Snatch'd du haricot-champ de yon ! et le monde ainsi fait calmer ! De 
façon immobile le murmure de la mer éloignée nous indique du 
silence. Et ce luth le plus simple, longueur-manières placées dans 
le tissu pour rideaux étreignant, prêtent l'oreille ! Comment par le 
caress'd desultory de brise, comme demi du rendement de bonne 
effarouchée à son amoureux, il verse un tel upbraiding doux, en tant 
que besoins de nécessité tenter de répéter le mal ! Et maintenant, 
ses cordes Boldlier balayé, les montées subites délicieuses de long 
excédent sequacious de notes descendent et se lèvent, un witchery 
flottant si doux de bruit pendant qu'elfins crépusculaire font, quand 
elles au voyage de la veille sur des rafales douces de royaume des 
fées, où l'miel-égoutture ronde de mélodies fleurit, apode et 
sauvage, comme des oiseaux du paradis, ni de la pause, ni de la 
perche, planant sur l'aile d'untam'd ! O ! l'une vie chez nous et à 
l'étranger, qui rencontre tout le mouvement et devient son âme, 
lumière de A dans le bruit, a bruit-comme la puissance dans la 
lumière, rythme dans toute la pensée, et joyance chaque 
où-Methinks, il devrait avoir été impossible de ne pas aimer toutes 
les choses dans un fill'd du monde ainsi; Là où la brise gazouille, 
et le muet aèrent toujours est musique slumbering sur son instrument. 

   Et ainsi, mon amour ! comme sur la pente intermédiaire là-bas de la 
colline j'étire mes membres à midi, tandis que par mes paupières de 
moitié-clos'd que je vois les sunbeams danser, comme des diamants, 
sur la force. Et muse de tranquil sur la tranquilité; Pleins 
beaucoup d'un uncall'd et un undetain'd de pensée, et beaucoup de 
phantasies fugitifs à vide, traversée mon cerveau nonchalent et 
passif, aussi sauvage et divers que les rafales aléatoires qui 
gonflent et flottent à ce sujet luth ! Et que si toute la nature 
animée soit mais fram'd organique d'harpes différemment, cela 
tremblent dans la pensée, car o'er elles plastique de champs et 
vaste, une brise intellectuelle, immédiatement l'âme de chacun, et 
Dieu de tous ? 

   Mais l'oeil plus sérieux thy que un reproof doux darde, O 
beloveacuted la femme ! ni de telles pensées obscurcissent et rejet 
de thou de dost d'unhallow'd pas, et biddest je marche humblement avec 
mon Dieu. Fille douce dans la famille du Christ ! Le thou bon de hast 
a indiqué et holily disprais'd ces shapings de l'esprit 
d'unregenerate; Bulles qui scintillent pendant qu'ils se lèvent et 
se cassent le ressort debabillage de la philosophie vaine. Pour jamais 
innocent peux je parler de lui, l'incompréhensible ! économiser 
quand avec crainte I le féliciter, et avec la foi qui se sent inly; 
Qui avec ses mercies d'économie healeacuted me, A sinful et la 
plupart des homme, Wilder'd et foncé malheureux, et ont donné moi 
pour posséder la paix, et ce lit de camp, et thee, bonne de 
coeur-honour'd !

Mein nachdenklicher Sara! thy weiche Backe stützte folglich auf Grube 
Arm, beruhigendsten Bonbon, die er neben unserem Feldbett sitzen soll, 
unser Feldbett o'ergrown mit weißem-flower'd Jasmin und die 
ausgedehnte-leav'd Myrte, (Treffen versinnbildlicht sie von Unschuld 
und von Liebe!) Und die Wolken aufpassen, waren das spät mit Licht, 
langsames um betrüben reich und kennzeichnen den Stern Vorabend 
Serenely des leuchtenden (so, wenn Klugheit ist), Shine gegenüber 
von! Wie vorzüglich die Gerüche Snatch'd vom yon bean-fangen! und 
die Welt so beruhigt! Das ruhig Rauschen des entfernten Meeres 
erklärt uns der Ruhe. Und dieser einfachste Dichtungskitt, gesetzte 
Länge-Weisen im umklammernden Flügelfenster, horchen! Wie durch das 
desultory Brise caress'd, wie etwas halbes Erbringen ihrem Geliebten 
des coy Mädchens, er solches süsses Upbraiding gießt, als 
Muß-Notwendigkeiten reizen, das Unrecht zu wiederholen! Und jetzt, 
sinken seine Zeichenketten gefegtes Boldlier, die köstlichen 
Schwankungen des langen sequacious Anmerkungen Überschusses und 
steigen, solch ein weicher sich hin- und herbewegender Witchery des 
Tones, während Dämmerung Elfins bilden, wenn sie an der Vorabend 
Reise auf leichten Stürmen vom Märchenland, in dem Melodien rundes 
Honig-Bratenfett blüht, Footless und wild, wie Paradiesvögel noch 
Pause noch die Stange, auf untam'd Flügel schwebend! O! das ein Leben 
innerhalb wir und auswärts, das alle Bewegung trifft und seine Seele, 
A Licht im Ton, a Ton-wie Energie im Licht, Rhythmus in allem Gedanken 
wird, und das jedes joyance wo-Methinks, sollte es unmöglich gewesen 
sein, alle Sachen in einem Weltfill'd nicht so zu lieben; Wo die Brise 
warbles und der Stumme lüften noch ist die Musik, die auf ihrem 
Instrument slumbering ist. 

   Und folglich, meine Liebe! wie auf der mittleren Steigung yonder des 
Hügels dehne ich meine Glieder am Mittag aus, während durch meine 
Hälfte-clos'd Augenlider, die ich die Sunbeams erblicke, wie 
Diamanten, auf der Hauptleitung tanzen. Und tranquil Muse nach 
Ruhe; Volle viele ein Gedanke uncall'd und ein undetain'd 
und viele untätige huschende phantasies, Durchquerung mein indolent 
und passives Gehirn, so wild und verschieden wie die gelegentlichen 
Stürme, die auf diesem vorbehaltlichen Dichtungskitt schwellen und 
flattern! Und was, wenn die ganze lebhafte Natur aber organisches 
Harfen verschieden fram'd ist, das tremble in Gedanken, da o'er sie 
Schleifen Plastik und beträchtliches, eine intellektuelle Brise, 
sofort die Seele von jedem und Gott von allen? 

   Aber thy ernsteres Auge, das ein mildes reproof, O schießt, 
beloveacuted Frau! noch verdunkeln sich solche Gedanken und Ausschuß 
des unhallow'd dost Thou nicht, und biddest gehe ich bescheiden mit 
meinem Gott. Milde Tochter in der Familie von Christ! Wohler hast Thou 
sagte und holily disprais'd diese shapings des unregenerate 
Verstandes; Luftblasen, die funkeln, während sie steigen und auf 
ja-plapperndem Frühling der nichtigen Philosophie brechen. Für nie 
guiltless kann ich von ihm, das unverständliche sprechen! außer, 
wenn mit Awe I ihn preisen und mit Glauben, der inly glaubt; Wer mit 
seinen Einsparung mercies mich healeacuted, gaben sinful A und der 
meiste miserable Mann, das Wilder'd und das Dunkle und mich, um 
Frieden zu besitzen und dieses Feldbett und thee, Herz-honour'd 
Mädchen!

Meu Sara pensive! o mordente macio thy reclinou assim no braço da 
mina, no doce que o mais soothing deve se sentar ao lado de nosso cot, 
no nosso o'ergrown do cot com jasmin branco-flower'd, e no myrtle 
largo-leav'd, (a reunião emblems os do innocence e do amor!) E 
prestar atenção às nuvens, isso era tarde rico com luz, entristecer 
lento round, e marca a estrela do brilho brilhante de Serenely do eve 
(tais se a sabedoria for) oposto a! Como exquisite os scents Snatch'd 
do feijão-campo do yon! e o mundo hushed assim! Imòvel o murmur do 
mar distante diz-nos do silêncio. E esse lute o mais simples, 
comprimento-maneiras colocadas no casement clasping, hark! Como pelo 
caress'd desultory da brisa, como algum meio render da empregada 
doméstica coy a seu amante, derrama tal upbraiding doce, como 
necessidades da obrigação tempt repetir o erro! E agora, suas cordas 
Boldlier varrido, os surges deliciosos do excesso sequacious longo das 
notas afundam-se e levantam-se, uma bruxeria flutuando tão macia do 
som enquanto Elfins crepuscular faz, quando elas na viagem do eve em 
vendavais delicados do fairy-Land, onde o mel-gotejamento redondo das 
melodias flowers, footless e selvagem, como pássaros de paradise, nem 
de pausa, nem de vara, pairando na asa do untam'd! O! a uma vida 
dentro de nós e no exterior, que se encontra com todo o movimento e 
se transforma sua alma, luz de A no som, a som-como o poder na luz, 
ritmo em todo o pensamento, e joyance cada onde-Methinks, deve ter 
sido impossível não amar assim todas as coisas em um fill'd do 
mundo; Onde a brisa warbles, e o mute areja ainda é música que 
slumbering em seu instrumento. 

   E assim, meu amor! como na inclinação intermediária além do monte 
eu estico meus membros no meio-dia, whilst através de meus eye-lids 
que da metade-clos'd eu behold os sunbeams dançar, como diamantes, no 
cano principal. E muse do tranquil em cima do tranquillity; Muitos um 
uncall'd e um undetain'd do pensamento, e muitos phantasies flitting 
inativos cheios, travessia meu cérebro indolent e passivo, tão 
selvagem e vário quanto os vendavais aleatórios que incham e vibram 
neste lute sujeito! E que se toda a natureza animated for mas fram'd 
orgânico dos harps diversa, isso tremem no pensamento, porque o'er 
eles plástico das varreduras e vasto, uma brisa intelectual, uma vez 
na alma de cada um, e do deus de tudo? 

   Mas o olho que mais sério thy um reproof suave darts, O beloveacuted 
a mulher! nem tais pensamentos escurecem e a rejeição de mil do dost 
do unhallow'd não, e mais biddest eu anda humbly com meu deus. Filha 
meek na família de Christ! Mil bom do hast disse e holily disprais'd 
estes shapings da mente do unregenerate; Bolhas que resplandecem 
enquanto se levantam e quebram na mola aye-aye-babbling da filosofia 
vã. Para nunca guiltless posso eu falar dele, o incomprehensible! 
excepto quando com awe I o elogiar, e com a fé que sente inly; Quem 
com seus mercies do saving healeacuted me, A sinful e a maioria homem, 
Wilder'd e de escuro miseráveis, e deram me para possuir a paz, e 
este cot, e thee, empregada doméstica do coração-honour'd!

nuestro cot, nuestro o'ergrown del cot con el jazmín blanco-flower'd, 
y el amplio-leav'd mirto, (la reunión los simboliza de la inocencia y

¡Cómo es exquisito los olores Snatch'd del haba-campo del yon! ¡y el

las cosas en un fill'd del mundo tan; Donde la brisa gorjea, y el mudo

   ¡Y así, mi amor! como en la cuesta situado a mitad del camino allí a 
la vista de la colina estiro mis miembros al mediodía, mientras que a

muchos phantasies que revolotean ociosos completos, travesía mi 
cerebro indolente y pasivo, tan salvaje y vario como los vendavales al

naturaleza animada esté menos fram'd orgánico de las arpas diverso, 
eso tiemblan en pensamiento, pues o'er ellos plástico de los barridos

   ¡Pero el ojo más serio thy que un reproof suave lanza, O beloveacuted

del unhallow'd no, y el ma's biddest camina humildemente con mi dios. 
¡Hija mansa en la familia de Cristo! Mil bien del hast dijo y holily

A sinful y la mayoría del hombre, del Wilder'd y del oscuro
