I travell’d among unknown Men

I travell’d among unknown Men,
In Lands beyond the Sea;
Nor England! did I know till then
What love I bore to thee.

‘Tis past, that melancholy dream!
Nor will I quit thy shore
A second time; for still I seem
To love thee more and more.

Among thy mountains did I feel
The joy of my desire;
And She I cherish’d turn’d her wheel
Beside an English fire.

Thy mornings shew’d—thy nights conceal’d
The bowers where Lucy play’d;
And thine is, too, the last green field
Which Lucy’s eyes survey’d!
