In the waste wilderness: the Soul ascends

Drawn towards her native firmament of heaven,[330]

When the fresh eagle, in the month of May,

Upborne, at evening, on replenished wing,

This shaded valley leaves;[331][EI] and leaves the dark

Empurpled hills, conspicuously renewing

A proud communication with the sun

Low sunk beneath the horizon!—List!—I heard,

From yon huge breast of rock, a voice sent forth[332]

As if the visible mountain made the cry.
