Or wilt thou go ask the Mole:

Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod?

Or Love in a golden bowl?

17 lines
Thomas Gray·1716–1771
e distant spires! ye antique towers!That crown the watery glade,Where grateful Science still adoresHer Henry’s holy shade ;And ye, that from the stately browOf Windsor’s heights th’ expanse belowOf grove, of lawn, of mead survey,Whose turf, whose shade, whose flowers amongWanders the hoary Thames alongHis silver-winding way. STOKE - POGIS. 19 Ah, happy hills! ah, pleasing shade!Ah, fields belov’d in vain! Where once my careless childhood stray’d,A stranger yet to pain! I feel the gales that from ye blow, A momentary bliss bestow.
