(Like snows depending on the autumn leaf)

Yet warm, benevolent, serene, resign'd,

And like an angel save in youth and joy.

A winding path round yonder wooded hill,

Leads to a spot where Nature decks herself

In loveliness and beauty: far below

Spreads the green valley, where a silent stream

Turns, like a serpent writhing in its course;

And, rarified by distance, kissing heaven,

In many noble and fantastic shapes,
