Henceforth to all men evermore;

The lulling murmur of thy pines

Is audible on every shore.

From morn till noontide on we rode—

The day grew summery awhile;

The mountain vapors throbbed and glowed,

But soon they wore a pensive smile.

The sky, a magazine of hues,

Its amethystine glories rained;

That richer colors still diffuse,
