And brightly past his banks of vine,

In glory, flows the monarch Rhine;

And joyous peals the vintage song

His wild luxuriant shores along,

As peasant bands, from rock and dell,

Their strains of choral transport swell;

And cliffs of bold fantastic forms,

Aspiring to the realm of storms,

And woods around, and waves below,

Catch the red Orient’s deepening glow,
