"O MOUNTAIN STREAM! THE SHEPHERD AND HIS COT"

O mountain Stream! the Shepherd and his Cot

Are privileged Inmates of deep solitude;

Nor would the nicest Anchorite exclude

A field or two of brighter green, or plot

Of tillage-ground, that seemeth like a spot

Of stationary sunshine:—thou hast viewed

These only, Duddon! with their paths renewed
