To William Godwin by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

To William Godwin Annotated

O form'd t' illume a sunless world forlorn,
&nbspAs o'er the chill and dusky brow of Night,
&nbspIn Finland's wintry skies the Mimic Morn
Electric pours a stream of rosy light,

Pleas'd I have mark'd Oppression, terror-pale,
&nbspSince, thro' the windings of her dark machine,
&nbspThy steady eye has shot its glances keen—
And bade th' All-lovely 'scenes at distance hail'.

Nor will I not thy holy guidance bless,
&nbspAnd hymn thee, Godwin! with an ardent lay;
&nbspFor that thy voice, in Passion's stormy day,
When wild I roam'd the bleak Heath of Distress,

Bade the bright form of Justice meet my way—
And told me that her name was Happiness.
