Poem by Anna Seward Sonnet 82. From a riv'd Tree, that stands beside the grave From a riv'd Tree, that stands beside the grave Of the Self-slaughter'd, to the misty Moon Calls the complaining Owl in Night's pale noon; And from a hut, far on the hill, to rave Is heard the angry Ban-Dog. With loud wave The rous'd and turbid River surges down, Swoln with the mountain-rains, and dimly shown Appals the Sense.—Yet see! from yonder cave, Her shelter in the recent, stormy showers, With anxious brow, a fond expecting Maid Steals towards the flood!—Alas!—for now appears Her Lover's vacant boat!—the broken oars Roll down the tide!—What images invade! Aghast she stands, the Statue of her fears! Anna Seward Anna Seward's other poems:
