Written in Mrs. Field’s Album
Opposite a Pen-and-ink Sketch in the Manner of
a Rembrandt Etching done by Edmund Field
That gloomy cave, that gothic nich,
Those trees that forward lean
As if enamoured of the brook—
How soothing is the scene!
No witchery of inky words
Can such illusions yield;
Yet all (ye Landscape Poets blush!)
Was penned by Edmund Field.
