Your step this way, prolonged our path of enterprise

To where we stand at last, in order that your eyes

Might see the very thing, and save my tongue describe

The Druid monument which fronts you. Could I bribe

Nature to come in aid, illustrate what I mean,

What wants there she should lend to solemnize the scene?

CXXII

How does it strike you, this construction gaunt and gray—

Sole object, these piled stones, that gleam unground-away

By twilight's hungry jaw, which champs fine all beside
