Can in such changeful beauty shine,

Outstripping Fancy's wildest dream,

Like yon green, glancing, glorious Rhine.

Born where blooms the Alpine rose,

Cradled in the Boden—see,[3]

Forth the infant river flows,

Leaping on in childish glee.

Coming to a riper age,

He crowns his rocky cup with wine,

And makes a gallant pilgrimage
