Here Nature, with a lavish bounty, pours

Her grandest beauties from her richest stores;

On either hand high rifted rocks uprear

Their summits proud that touching heaven appear,

Whilst on their shelves soft mountain herbage grows,

Fresh moss springs green, the pretty wild flower blows,

And many a tree, on their steep sides, is seen

Stretching broad branches, decked in living green,

’Mongst which the yew its gloomy boughs extends,

Where the grey crag’s terrific form impends;
