Sonnet 86. Pride of Ierne's Sea-encircled bound
TO THE LAKE OF KILLARNEY[1].
Pride of Ierne's Sea-encircled bound,
Rival of all Britannia's Naiads boast,
Magnificent Killarney!—from thy coast
Tho' mountains rise with noblest woods embrown'd;
Tho' ten-voiced Echos send the cannon's sound
In thunders bursting the vast rocks around,
Till startled Wonder and Delight exhaust
In countless repercussion—Isles embost
Upon thy liquid glass; their bloomy veil
Sorbus and ārbutus;—yet not for thee
So keenly wakes our local ecstacy,
As o'er the narrow, barren, silent Dale,
Where deeply sleeps, rude circling Rocks among,
The Love-devoted Fount enamour'd Petrarch sung.
1: This Sonnet was written on having read a description of the Killarney Scenery immediately after that of the Vale of Vaucluse, uncultivated and comparatively desert as the latter has been through more than the present Century.

- Sonnet 52. Long has the pall of Midnight quench'd the scene
- Sonnet 69. Time, and thy charms, thou fanciest will redeem
- Sonnet 13. Thou child of Night, and Silence, balmy Sleep
- Sonnet 77. O! hast thou seen a vernal Morning bright
