To walk upon the cold and cloven hills,

To hear the congregated mountains shout

Their pæan of a thousand foaming rills.

Raimented with intolerable light

The snow-peaks stand above thee, row on row

Arising, each a seraph in his might;

An organ each of varied stop doth blow.

Heaven's azure dome trembles through all her spheres,

Feeling that music vibrate; and the sun

Raises his tenor as he upward steers,
