Composition is, for the most part, an effort of slow diligence and steady perseverance, to which the mind is dragged by necessity or resolution, and from which the attention is every moment starting to more delightful amusements.

There is a Spot, 'mid barren #Hills
Where #Winter Howls, & driving rain;
But, if the #Dreary #Tempest chills
There is a #Light that warms again.The #House is old, the #Trees are bare,
Moonless above bends twilight's #Dome;
But what on #Earth is half so dear -
So longed for - as the #Hearth of #Home?Even as I stood w/ raptured #Eye
Absorbed in #Bliss so deep & #Dear,
My hour of #Rest had fleeted by
& back came Labour, Bondage, #Care.
