Robert Southey - Sonnet 10Robert Southey - Sonnet 10
Work rating: Low


How darkly o`er yon far-off mountain frowns  The gather`d tempest! from that lurid cloud  The deep-voiced thunders roll, aweful and loud Tho` distant; while upon the misty downs Fast falls in shadowy streaks the pelting rain.  I never saw so terrible a storm! Perhaps some way-worn traveller in vain  Wraps his torn raiment round his shivering form Cold even as Hope within him! I the while Pause me in sadness tho` the sunbeams smile  Cheerily round me. Ah that thus my lot Might be with Peace and Solitude assign`d,  Where I might from some little quiet cot, Sigh for the crimes and miseries of mankind!
