Directs me, when all ways that people tread

Seem to the quiet of my being, foes,

If some lone shore, or fountain-head, or rill

Or shady glen, between two slopes outspread,

I find--my daunted soul doth there repose....

On mountain heights, in briary woods, I find

Some rest; but every dwelling place on earth

Appeareth to my eyes a deadly bane....

Where some tall pine or hillock spreads a shade,

I sometimes halt, and on the nearest brink
