To ocean’s deepest under cliffs low-browed,

And pine-woods’ vastest on the topmost hills,

No tone was wanting; while to them that heard

Strange images looked forth of worlds new-born,

Fair, phantom mountains, and, with forests plumed,

The marvelling headlands, for the first time glassed

In waters ever calm. O’er sapphire seas

Green islands laughed. Fairer, the wide earth’s flower,

Eden, on airs unshaken yet by sighs

From bosom still inviolate forth poured
