Hail steep ascents and winding ways	A
Glimmering through melting morning haze	A
Hail mountain herd bells chiming clear	B
Hail meads and cherry orchards green	C
And hail thrice hail thou golden mean	C
The ch let's simple cheer	B
	-
I leave the highwayed world behind	D
And amid pathless pinewoods wind	D
I drink their aromatic air	E
Leap with kin feet the leaping stream	F
And wake as from an evil dream	F
To dawn and speechless prayer	E
	-
Louder I hear the cattle bells	G
Wider the prospect spreads and swells	G
Lakes mountains snow peaks round me throng	H
I veil mine eyes with awe oppressed	I
Then gaze and with a carolling breast	I
Burst into native song	H
	-
The moist cool dews are round my feet	J
Forests of wild flowers simple sweet	J
With honey load each vacant breeze	K
Which healing bears upon its wing	L
Breathes with an air of more than Spring	L
And banishes disease	K
	-
My limbs their youthful stride regain	M
From off me fall fatigue and pain	M
I mount more borne on wings than feet	J
My blood in faster current flows	N
Yet like stream fed by mountain snows	N
Is coolest when most fleet	J
	-
And not this common frame alone	O
Reclaims its youth remounts its throne	O
I feel as air and sky expand	P
That here the spirit as the flesh	Q
Grows fragrant dewy healthful fresh	Q
And like the landscape grand	P
	-
Is it then so And must the soul	R
That unseen wing towards unseen goal	R
Disdain the crowded vale's delights	S
Its heat unfruitful vapid noise	T
And soaring solitary poise	T
Among celestial heights	S
	-
Even so And poised aloft my soul	R
Far above human fret and dole	R
In empyrean calm abides	U
No mortal voice the silence mars	V
I hear the singing of the stars	V
And the eternal tides	U
	-
The greedy aims the lean regrets	W
The disenchantment Hope begets	W
On ravished hearts beheld from here	X
Like unto hamlet pasture stream	F
Confused in one indifferent dream	F
Mean and minute appear	B
	-
Man's feeble fury trivial hate	Y
The pains that upon pleasure wait	Y
The exhaustion of tumultuous love	Z
The hopes that dwindle fears that grow	A2
All that upheaves the plain below	A2
Tranquil I breathe above	Z
	-
Yet 'mid these sun confronting peaks	B2
The undesisting spirit seeks	B2
To mount to loftier rarer height	C2
Are what we see but toys of sense	D2
And we who see them but a lens	E2
Refracting heavenly light	C2
	-
Imperfect mirror faulty glass	F2
Who let the pure white rays to pass	F2
But twist the coloured beams awry	G2
Belittle all the good we see	H2
And ill since of our own degree	H2
Absorb to magnify	G2
	-
Who knoweth or shall answer find	D
I hear the rising of the wind	D
More near and full the torrent's plash	Q
The swaying pine woods murmur deep	I2
The lightnings laugh and roused from sleep	I2
The storm winds meet and crash	Q
	-
From underneath their lurid cowls	H2
Rossberg 'gainst Rigi frowns and scowls	H2
Across Arth's vale that cowers for dread	J2
And mustering for their awful goal	R
The phalanxed thunders rumbling roll	R
Around Pilatus' head	J2
	-
Zug's gentle bosom heaves with fear	B
And K ssnachts' waves late soft and clear	B
As maiden's gaze or childhood's kiss	H2
Wax black as murkiest pool of hell	K2
When the infernal tempests swell	K2
And demons jeer and hiss	H2
	-
'Mid such a ferment what is Man	L2
He sits beneath the rainbow's span	L2
And contemplates his little state	Y
He hears the darkness call and deems	H2
The skies speak to him in his dreams	H2
And recognise him great	Y
	-
Yet not for him the Heavens engage	M2
In their reverberating rage	M2
For him the ambushed levins fight	C2
Him but a fainter lightning flash	Q
Him but a feebler thunder crash	Q
Ending in deeper night	C2
	-
Lo unto other lands of air	E
The elemental furies bear	E
The roar of unexhausted strife	N2
And freed from the sepulchral gloom	O2
Earth once again as from the tomb	O2
Rises to light and life	N2
	-
Pilatus frees his rugged head	J2
Zug's crouching lake released from dread	J2
Looks up and smiles with face serene	C
And gazed on by the dying sun	P2
The phantom snow crests one by one	P2
Glow with transfigured mien	C
	-
Dead And the tender twilight sighs	H2
Wan wane her cheeks moist grow her eyes	H2
She draws her robes of mourning round	Q2
Slowly she lights her widowed lamp	R2
And listens through the night dews damp	R2
To catch some cheering sound	Q2
	-
Yet in her loneliness how fair	E
There is a sadness in the air	E
Sweeter than all the chords of joy	S2
A fragrance as of spices borne	T2
Unto the tomb of one we mourn	T2
And can no more annoy	S2
	-
Cham's spire I scarce in heaven descry	E
Inverted in that other sky	G2
The lake's lit breast still plain doth glow	A2
So Soul that darkly points above	Z
Shows sure and clear when glassed by love	Z
In answering heart below	A2
	-
No more the grazing herds I see	H2
But still their bells chime silvery	H2
The tuneful if unmeasured peal	U2
And as when heard in dewy morn	T2
From lonely mind and heart forlorn	T2
Their desolation steal	U2
	-
The legions of the starry host	V2
Each to their high and solemn post	V2
In silent discipline repair	E
And from the unbattlemented sky	G2
With an intrepid calm defy	G2
The demons of the air	E
	-
And lo athwart their ordered lines	H2
That strange auxiliary shines	H2
Who wears the bright long flowing crest	I
Weird warrior from another world	W2
Whose banner shortly will be furled	W2
Or waved in realms unguessed	W2
	-
Erratic pilgrim go not yet	W2
And each fair planet do not set	W2
For once if only once O Time	X2
Stay thine interminable march	Q
Round and still round that hollow arch	Q
Where aeons vainly chime	X2
	-
For when the tide which unto Heaven	P2
Brings night 'gainst earth is backward driven	P2
In waves of rising day ah then	Y2
Me helpless will it bear once more	E
Unto that thronged but barren shore	E
Ploughed by the cares of men	Y2
