High soaring rock, and purple peak.

Yon central isle, of sombre pines,

With dark green hue, and spreading bough,

Reflected in the water shines,

A softer vision seen below!

Around, unnumbered fairy isles

In rich luxuriant verdure lie,

Like gems amidst the waters’ smiles,

Or bright clouds on a summer sky.

Fair, spreading trees along the shore
