Thy scenes for ever rich and new,

Thy cheerful towns, thy Gothic piles,

Thy rude ravines, thy verdant isles;

Thy golden hills with garlands bound,

Thy giant crags with castles crown'd!

I have seen thee by morning's early light,

I have seen thee by evening gray;

With the crimson blush of sun-set bright,

And lit by the moon's pale ray;

Shrouded in mist and darken'd by storm,
