SONNET V. To the South Downs. Ah! hills beloved, where once, an happy child, Your beechen shades, your turf, your flowers among, I wove your blue-bells into garlands wild, And woke your echoes with my artless song. Ah! hills beloved,your turf, your flowers remain; But can they peace to this sad breast restore, For one poor moment soothe the sense of pain, And teach a breaking heart to throb no more?
