The Mountains

Till they awake, and from your feeble lap

Whirl through the air, and in their rage rejoice:

Then you with levin-bolt and thunderclap

Mingle your voice.

But I their vain insanity survey,

And on my silent brow I let them beat.

What is there it is worth my while to say

To storm or sleet?

I hear the thunder rumbling through the rain,
