Analysis of When Hope but made Tranquillity be felt (fragment)
Samuel Taylor Coleridge 1772 (Ottery St Mary) – 1834 (Highgate)
When Hope but made Tranquillity be felt--
A Flight of Hopes for ever on the wing
But made Tranquillity a conscious Thing--
And wheeling round and round in sportive coil
Fann'd the calm air upon the brow of Toil--
