William Wordsworth - The French And the Spanish GuerillasWilliam Wordsworth - The French And the Spanish Guerillas
Work rating: Low


HUNGER, and sultry heat, and nipping blast From bleak hill-top, and length of march by night Through heavy swamp, or over snow-clad height-- These hardships ill-sustained, these dangers past, The roving Spanish Bands are reached at last, Charged, and dispersed like foam: but as a flight Of scattered quails by signs do reunite, So these,--and, heard of once again, are chased With combinations of long-practised art And newly-kindled hope; but they are fled--                Gone are they, viewless as the buried dead: Where now?--Their sword is at the Foeman`s heart; And thus from year to year his walk they thwart, And hang like dreams around his guilty bed.
