LEWESDON HILL.

LEWESDON HILL,
WITH
OTHER POEMS.

BY
THE REV. WILLIAM CROWE,
PUBLIC ORATOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.

Χαιρ’ ω πεδον αγχιαλον,

Και μ’ ευπλοιᾳ πεμψον αμεμπτως

Ενθ’ ἡ μεγαλη μοιρα κομιζει,

——χῳ πανδαματωρ

Δαιμων, ος ταυτ’ επεκρανεν.

SOPH.

Farewell thy printless sands and pebbly shore!

I hear the white surge beat thy coast no more,

Pure, gentle source of the high, rapturous mood!—

—Where’er, like the great Flood, by thy dread force

Propell’d—shape Thou my calm, my blameless course,

Heaven, Earth, and Ocean’s Lord!—and Father of the Good!
