Although his fervour was reawakened by the French Revolution and again by the War of 1812, almost all his best lyrics were written between 1775 and 1790. In the main these concern the American Indian, the smaller objects of nature, and the sea, and in subject at least are altogether original. The Indian Burying ground is well known; The Indian student, which curiously anticipates some phases of Wordsworth's Ruth, and The dying Indian, are scarcely less fine.

Or again we see the solitary dejected wood-pelican, alone on the topmost limb of a dead cypress; it looks extremely grave, sorrowful, and melancholy, as if in themodem books that I read are those of travels, or such as relate to matters of fact-and the only modem books that I care for. What they meant to him may be seen in Ruth, which is full of images from Bartram — the magnolia, the cypress, green savannas, and scarlet flowers that set the hills on fire; in The Complaint of a Forsaken I
