Abstract

Water and windmills, greenness, Islets green; —
Willows whose Trunks beside the shadows stood
Of their own higher half, and willowy swamp: —
Farmhouses that at anchor seem’d — in the inland sky
The fog-transfixing Spires —
Water, wide water, greenness and green banks,
And water seen —
June 1828. Now first published from an MS.
