And harsh unkindnesses are all forgiven,

Tho', in this Vale, remembered with deep awe."


The Vicar paused; and toward a seat advanced,

A long stone-seat, fixed in the Church-yard wall;[HX]

Part shaded by cool sycamore, and part

Offering a sunny resting-place to them[591]

Who seek the House of worship, while the bells

Yet ring with all their voices, or before

The last hath ceased its solitary knoll.
