The rocky precipice all frothy white,

With noise like thunder in its headlong leap,

And springing sun-bows o’er its showery flight,

And bursting into foam, tumultuous go

Down the deep chasm, to smoke and boil below.

LXIX.

Thence, hurrying onward through the narrow bound

Of banks precipitous, its torrents go,

Till by the jutting cliffs half wheeling round,

They pass from sight among the hills below.
