Note 38 — STANZAS TO THE MEMORY OF THOMAS HOOD.
Reading edition
"Before I lived to sigh, Thou wert in Avon, and a thousand rills, Beautiful Orb! and so, whene'er I lie Trodden, thou wilt be gazing from thy hills. Blest be thy loving light, where'er it spills, And blessed be thy face, O Mother Mild!" Ode to the Moon, published likewise in Blackwood, 1829.
