2045820Poems and Extracts — "Me though in life's sequestered vale"Mark Akenside

Me though in life's sequestered vale,
The Almighty Sire ordained to dwell,
Remote from Glory's toilsome ways,
And the great scenes of public praise;
Yet let me still with grateful pride
Remember how my infant frame
He tempered with prophetic flame,
And early music to my tongue supplied.
