Living
Voyage to St. Ives, Cornwall, from Port-Einon, Glamorgan, 1794
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Living
How gladsome yet how calm are ye
White birds that dip into the sea!
How sportive those bright fins below
Which through green alga-meadows glow!
How soft the lustrous air around,
And the red sail's is all the sound,
While me my heart's fierce tempest drives
On from Port-Einon to St. Ives.
