Richard Chenevix Trench (Ричард Ченевикс Тренч)

The Herring-Fishers of Lochfyne

DEEM not these fishers idle, though by day
You hear the snatches of their lazy song,
And see them listlessly the sunlight long
Strew the curved beach of this indented bay:
So deemed I, till I viewed their trim array
Of boats last night,—a busy armament,
With sails as dark as ever Theseus bent
Upon his fatal rigging, take their way.
Rising betimes, I could not choose but look
For their return; and when along the lake
The morning mists were curling, saw them make
Homeward, returning toward their quiet nook,
With draggled nets down-hanging to the tide,
Weary, and leaning o’er their vessels’ side.

1. To the Same (Look, dearest, what a glory from the sun)
2. To the Same (Songs of deliverance compassed thee about)
3. To the Same (If sorrow came not near us, and the lore)
4. England (We look for, and have promise to behold)
5. The Same
