Then to rich meadow-grass,

And pastures fed by tinkling herd and flock,

Till the wide stream receives its waters cool.

Again I long for lakes that lie between

High mountains, fringed about with virgin firs,

Where hand of man has never rudely been,

Nor plashing wheel the limpid water stirs;

There let us twain begin the world again

Like those of old; while tree, and trout, and deer

Unto their kindred beings draw our own,
