Lie open and revealed. Himself far less—

Kneeling before thy great confessional—

Than are the bubbles of the passing tides.

Words may not picture thee, nor pencil paint

Thy might of waters, volumed vast and deep;

Thy many-toned and all-pervading voice;

Thy wood-crown'd Isle, fast anchor'd on the brink

Of the dread precipice; thy double stream,

Divided, yet in beauty unimpaired;

Thy wat'ry caverns and thy crystal walls;
