Where cliffs in solemn majesty are piled,

“And frown upon the vale” with grandeur wild:

And there I view the mouldering tower sublime,

Array’d in all the blending shades of Time.

The airy upland and the woodland green,

The valley, and romantic mountain scene;

The lowly hermitage, or fair domain,

The dell retired, or willow-shaded lane;

“And every spot in sylvan beauty drest,

And every landscape, charms my youthful breast.”
