Anna Seward (Анна Сьюард)

Sonnet 80. As lightens the brown Hill to vivid green

As lightens the brown Hill to vivid green
    When juvenescent April's showery Sun
    Looks on its side, with golden glance, at Noon;
    So on the gloom of Life's now faded scene
Shines the dear image of those days serene,
    From Memory's consecrated treasures won;
    The days that rose, ere youth, and years were flown,
    Soft as the morn of May;—and well I ween
If they had clouds, in Time's alembic clear
    They vanish'd all, and their gay vision glows
    In brightness unobscur'd; and now they wear
A more than pristine sunniness, which throws
    Those mild reflected lights that soften care,
    Loss of lov'd Friends, and all the train of Woes.

1. Sonnet 44. Rapt Contemplation, bring thy waking dreams
2. Sonnet 93. Yon soft Star, peering o'er the sable cloud
3. Sonnet 87. Round Cleon's brow the Delphic laurels twine
4. Sonnet 71. While Summer Roses all their glory yield
5. Sonnet 17. Ah! why have I indulg'd my dazzled sight
