INSCRIPTION FOR AN HERMITAGE IN THE AUTHOR'S GARDEN by WILLIAM COWPER

Poet Analysis

First Line: THIS CABIN, MARY, IN MY SIGHT APPEARS
Last Line: PRELIMINARY TO--THE LAST RETREAT.
THIS cabin, Mary, in my sight appears,
Built as it has been in our waning years,
A rest afforded to our weary feet,
Preliminary to--the last retreat.
