Till the dilating soul, enrapt, transfused,

Into the mighty vision passing—there,

As in her natural form, swelled vast to Heaven!

Awake my soul! not only passive praise

Thou owest! not alone these swelling tears, 25

Mute thanks, and secret ecstasy! Awake,

Voice of sweet song! Awake, my heart, awake!

Green vales and icy cliffs, all join my Hymn.

Thou first and chief, sole sovran of the Vale!

Oh, struggling with the darkness all the night, 30
