That mourns thy wrongs, yet mourns in vain:

I come, but not with former haste,

To view the dim unshelter’d Waste,

That once was Needwood: on thy brow

No green-rob’d Wood-nymph beckons now:

Yet be thy Spirit sooth’d to bear

My Requiem through the void of air!

O Draycot Cliff! again thy height,

Known beacon of my young delight,

With sad’ning thoughts, that much portend
