Synopsis
The Poems of William Cowper was originally published in 1870. Cowper was an popular English poet and hymn writer who often wrote of the countryside and nature. "I am monarch of all I survey, My right there is none to dispute, From the centre all round to the sea, I am lord of the fowl and the brute. O solitude! Where are the charms That sages have seen in thy face? Better dwell in the midst of alarms, Than reign in this horrible place."
