Than her elastic step; and in her frame

There was a perfect symmetry, that seemed

Aerial as a bird’s. It was the hour

For worship in her land; and she had come,

With the religion of a high, pure heart,

To bow herself in prayer. A darker mind

Might pray at such an hour; but she had caught

The spirit of the scene; and, as her eye

Followed the coursing of the golden waves,

Or rested on the clouds that slept above,
