By many a town and wood and brook.

I roamed the earth from place to place,

Till, like a mirror's polished face,

The whole broad disk, that lies between

Its farthest bounds, mine eyes had seen.

I wandered first to eastern skies

Where fairest trees rejoiced mine eyes,

And many a cave and wooded hill

Where lilies robed the lake and rill.

There metal dyes that hill[745] adorn
