In her light skiff, the tossing waves,

And quits the bosom of the deep

Only to climb the rugged steep!

—Say whence that modulated shout!

From Wood-nymph of Diana's throng?

Or does the greeting to a rout

Of giddy Bacchanals belong?

Jubilant outcry! rock and glade

Resounded—but the voice obeyed

The breath of an Helvetian Maid.
