L16.verse1Butts10'00; E712| To
my Friend Butts I write
L16.verse2Butts10'00; E712|
My first Vision of Light
L16.verse3Butts10'00; E712|
On the yellow sands sitting
L16.verse4Butts10'00; E712|
The Sun was Emitting
L16.verse5Butts10'00; E712|
His Glorious beams
L16.verse6Butts10'00; E712|
From Heavens high Streams
L16.verse7Butts10'00; E712|
Over Sea over Land
L16.verse8Butts10'00; E712|
My Eyes did Expand
L16.verse9Butts10'00; E712|
Into regions of air
L16.verse10Butts10'00; E712|
Away from all Care
L16.verse11Butts10'00; E712|
Into regions of fire
L16.verse12Butts10'00; E712|
Remote from Desire
L16.verse13Butts10'00; E712|
The Light of the Morning
L16.verse14Butts10'00; E712|
Heavens Mountains adorning
L16.verse15Butts10'00; E712|
In particles bright
L16.verse16Butts10'00; E712|
The jewels of Light
L16.verse17Butts10'00; E712|
Distinct shone & clear--
L16.verse18Butts10'00; E712|
Amazd & in fear
L16.verse19Butts10'00; E712|
I each particle gazed
L16.verse20Butts10'00; E712|
Astonishd Amazed
L16.verse21Butts10'00; E712|
For each was a Man
L16.verse22Butts10'00; E712|
Human formd. Swift I ran
L16.verse23Butts10'00; E712|
For they beckond to me
L16.verse24Butts10'00; E712|
Remote by the Sea
L16.verse25Butts10'00; E712|
Saying. Each grain of Sand
L16.verse26Butts10'00; E712|
Every Stone on the Land
L16.verse27Butts10'00; E712|
Each rock & each hill
L16.verse28Butts10'00; E712|
Each fountain & rill
L16.verse29Butts10'00; E712|
Each herb & each tree
L16.verse30Butts10'00; E712|
Mountain hill Earth & Sea
L16.verse31Butts10'00; E712|
Cloud Meteor & Star
L16.verse32Butts10'00; E712|
Are Men Seen Afar
L16.verse33Butts10'00; E712|
I stood in the Streams
L16.verse34Butts10'00; E712|
Of Heavens bright beams
L16.verse35Butts10'00; E712|
And Saw Felpham sweet
L16.verse36Butts10'00; E712|
Beneath my bright feet
L16.verse37Butts10'00; E713|
In soft Female charms
L16.verse38Butts10'00; E713|
And in her fair arms
L16.verse39Butts10'00; E713|
My Shadow I knew
L16.verse40Butts10'00; E713|
And my wifes shadow too
L16.verse41Butts10'00; E713|
And My Sister & Friend.
L16.verse42Butts10'00; E713|
We like Infants descend
L16.verse43Butts10'00; E713|
In our Shadows on Earth
L16.verse44Butts10'00; E713|
Like a weak mortal birth
L16.verse45Butts10'00; E713|
My Eyes more & more
L16.verse46Butts10'00; E713|
Like a Sea without shore
L16.verse47Butts10'00; E713|
Continue Expanding
L16.verse48Butts10'00; E713|
The Heavens commanding
L16.verse49Butts10'00; E713|
Till the jewels of Light
L16.verse50Butts10'00; E713|
Heavenly Men beaming bright
L16.verse51Butts10'00; E713|
Appeard as One Man
L16.verse52Butts10'00; E713|
Who Complacent began
L16.verse53Butts10'00; E713|
My limbs to infold
L16.verse54Butts10'00; E713|
In his beams of bright gold
L16.verse55Butts10'00; E713|
Like dross purgd away
L16.verse56Butts10'00; E713|
All my mire & my clay
L16.verse57Butts10'00; E713|
Soft consumd in delight
L16.verse58Butts10'00; E713|
In his bosom sun bright
L16.verse59Butts10'00; E713|
I remaind. Soft he smild
L16.verse60Butts10'00; E713|
And I heard his voice Mild
L16.verse61Butts10'00; E713|
Saying This is My Fold
L16.verse62Butts10'00; E713|
O thou Ram hornd with gold
L16.verse63Butts10'00; E713|
Who awakest from sleep
L16.verse64Butts10'00; E713|
On the sides of the Deep
L16.verse65Butts10'00; E713|
On the Mountains around
L16.verse66Butts10'00; E713|
The roarings resound
L16.verse67Butts10'00; E713|
Of the lion & wolf
L16.verse68Butts10'00; E713|
The loud sea & deep gulf
L16.verse69Butts10'00; E713|
These are guards of My Fold
L16.verse70Butts10'00; E713|
O thou Ram hornd with gold
L16.verse71Butts10'00; E713|
And the voice faded mild
L16.verse72Butts10'00; E713|
I remaind as a Child
L16.verse73Butts10'00; E713|
All I ever had known
L16.verse74Butts10'00; E713|
Before me bright Shone

I saw you & your wife
L16.verse76Butts10'00; E713|

Mrs Butts will I hope Excuse my not having finishd the
L16.2Butts10'00; E713|
Portrait. I wait for less hurried moments. Our Cottage looks
L16.2Butts10'00; E713|
more & more beautiful. And tho the weather is wet, the Air is
L16.2Butts10'00; E713|
very Mild. much Milder than it was in London
L16.2Butts10'00; E714|
when we came away. Chichester is a very handsom City Seven miles
L16.2Butts10'00; E714|
from us we can get most Conveniences there. The Country is not
L16.2Butts10'00; E714|
so destitute of accomodations to our wants as I expected it would
L16.2Butts10'00; E714|
be We have had but little time for viewing the Country but what
L16.2Butts10'00; E714|
we have seen is Most Beautiful & the People are Genuine Saxons
L16.2Butts10'00; E714|
handsomer than the people [ar] about London. Mrss Butts
L16.2Butts10'00; E714|
will Excuse the following lines
L16.verseBButts10'00; E714| To
Mrs Butts
L16.verseB1Butts10'00; E714|
Wife of the Friend of those I most revere.
L16.verseB2Butts10'00; E714|
Recieve this tribute from a Harp sincere
L16.verseB3Butts10'00; E714|
Go on in Virtuous Seed sowing on Mold
L16.verseB4Butts10'00; E714|
Of Human Vegetation & Behold
L16.verseB5Butts10'00; E714|
Your Harvest Springing to Eternal life
