To The Thames At Westminster

in recollection of the banks of the same river
at caversham, near reading


With no cold admiration do I gaze
Upon thy pomp of waters, matchless stream!
But home-sick fancy kindles with the beam
That on thy lucid bosom faintly plays;
And glides delighted through thy crystal ways,
Till on her eye those wave-fed poplars gleam,
Beneath whose shade her first ethernal maze
She fashion'd; where she traced in clearest dream
Thy mirror'd course of wood-enshrined repose
Besprent with island haunts of spirits bright;
And widening on - till, at the vision's close;
Great London, only then a name of might
For childish thought to build on, proudly rose
A rock-throned city clad in heavenly light.


Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd . 1795-1854
