29/791 [VIII.] This Impromptu appeared, many years ago, among the Author's Poems, from which, in subsequent editions, it was excluded. It is reprinted at the request of the Friend in whose presence the lines were thrown off. *_Ibid._ Reprinted at the request of my Sister, in whose presence the lines were thrown off. *_Composed upon an Evening of extraordinary Splendour and Beauty_ [IX.] Felt, and in a great measure composed, upon the little mount in front of our abode at Rydal. In concluding my notices of this class of poems it may be as well to observe, that among the Miscellaneous Sonnets are a few alluding to morning impressions, which might be read with mutual benefit in connection with these Evening Voluntaries. |
