Soft darkness o'er its latest gleams is stealing; The buzzing dor hawk, round and round, is wheeling,   That solitary bird Is all that can be heard [1] 5 In silence deeper far than that of deepest noon! SOFT DARKNESS O'ER ITS LATEST GLEAMS IS STEALING THE BUZZING DOOR HAWK ROUND AND ROUND IS WHEELING THAT SOLITARY BIRD IS ALL THAT CAN BE HEARD IN SILENCE DEEPER FAR THAN THAT OF DEEPEST NOON
 [B] TO CHARLES LAMB, ESQ. MY DEAR FRIEND, When I sent you, a few weeks ago, the Tale of 'Peter Bell', you asked "why THE WAGGONER was not added?"--To say the truth,--from the higher tone of imagination, and the deeper touches of passion aimed at in the former, I apprehended, this little Piece could not accompany it without disadvantage. In the year 1806, if I am not mistaken, THE WAGGONER was read to you in manuscript; and, as you have remembered it for so long a time, I am the more encouraged to hope, that, since the localities on which it partly depends did not prevent its being interesting to you, it may prove acceptable to others. Being therefore in some measure the cause of its present appearance, you must allow me the gratification of inscribing it to you; in acknowledgment of the pleasure I have derived from your Writings, and of the high esteem with which I am Very truly yours, WILLIAM WORDSWORTH. RYDAL MOUNT, _May 20th_, 1819. CANTO FIRST 'Tis spent--this burning day of June!
