Comments:
"There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,/ The earth, and every common sight/ To me did seem/ Appareled in celestial light,/ The glory and the freshness of a dream./ It is not now as it hath been of yore;--/ Turn wheresoe'er I may,/ By night or day,/ The things which I have seen I now can see no more."
