Flowers we espy beside the torrent growing;

Flowers that peep forth from many a cleft and chink,

And, from the whirlwind of his anger, drink

Hues ever fresh, in rocky fortress blowing:

They suck—from breath that, threatening to destroy,

Is more benignant than the dewy eve—

Beauty, and life, and motions as of joy:

Nor doubt but He to whom yon Pine-trees nod

Their heads in sign of worship,[HM] Nature's God,

These humbler adorations will receive.
