For future years. And so I dare to hope,

Though changed, no doubt, from what I was when first

I came among these hills; when like a roe

I bounded o’er the mountains, by the sides 70

Of the deep rivers, and the lonely streams,

Wherever Nature led: more like a man

Flying from something that he dreads, than one

Who sought the thing he loved. For Nature then

(The coarser pleasures of my boyish days, 75

And their glad animal movements all gone by,)
