Nor could be given, possession of the good

Which had been sighed for, ancient thought fulfilled

And dear Imaginations realized

Up to their highest measure, yea and more.

Embrace me then, ye Hills, and close me in, 110

Now in the clear and open day I feel

Your guardianship; I take it to my heart;

’Tis like the solemn shelter of the night.

But I would call thee beautiful, for mild

And soft, and gay, and beautiful thou art, 115
