Not dull art Thou as undiscerning Night;

But studious only to remove from sight

Day's mutable distinctions.—Ancient Power!

Thus did the waters gleam, the mountains lower,

To the rude Briton, when, in wolf-skin vest

Here roving wild, he laid him down to rest

On the bare rock, or through a leafy bower

Looked ere his eyes were closed. By him was seen

The self-same Vision which we now behold,

At thy meek bidding, shadowy Power! brought forth;
