Up and up the pine-trees go,

So, like black priests up, and so

Down the other side again

To another greater, wilder country,

That 's one vast red drear burnt-up plain,

Branched through and through with many a vein

Whence iron 's dug, and copper 's dealt;

Look right, look left, look straight before,—

Beneath they mine, above they smelt,

Copper-ore and iron-ore,
