I Travelled Among Unknown Men

Poems (1815), 1815

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

'Tis past, that melancholy dream!Nor will I quit thy shoreA second time; for still I seemTo love thee more and more.

Among thy mountains did I feelThe joy of my desire;And She I cherished turned her wheelBeside an English fire.

Thy mornings shewed, thy nights concealedThe bowers where Lucy played;And thine is too the last green fieldThat Lucy's eyes surveyed.
