Inscribed on the back of a Landscape, drawn by the Rev. William Bree
From Poetical Works, ed. Walter Scott (1810), vol. III
Arts & Sciences
Here, from the hand of Genius, meets your eye
The tangled foliage of a shadowy dell;
Meets it in Nature’s truth;--and see, the brook
Thro’ yon wild thicket work its way oblique,
Hurrying and dashing thro’ the lonely wood!
