Hawthorn and hazel mingled there;

The primrose pale, and violet flower,

Found in each cliff a narrow bower;

* * * * *

Aloft the ash and warrior oak

Cast anchor in the rifted rock,

And, higher yet, the pine-tree hung

His shatter’d trunk, and frequent flung,

Where seem’d the cliffs to meet on high,

His boughs athwart the narrow’d sky.
