Unbridged by frost, no passage do they show,

And far about the anxious wanderers go.

The sun from middle skies now downward bent

His course, and for a while on lofty ground

They rested, and abroad their glances sent

Far o’er the sea of forest that embrowned

The landscape. The overarching firmament,

The woody waste enclaspt with azure round,

And yon bright sun, yon eagle soaring high,
