ON THE SAME OCCASION[162]
Composed 1816.—Published 1816
One of the "Sonnets dedicated to Liberty."—Ed.
Ye Storms, resound the praises of your King!
And ye mild Seasons—in a sunny clime,
Midway on some high hill, while father Time
Looks on delighted—meet in festal ring,
And loud and long of Winter's triumph sing!
Sing ye, with blossoms crowned, and fruits, and flowers,
Of Winter's breath surcharged with sleety showers,
