The waters roar | B |
And on the shore | B |
One sycamore | B |
Stands towering hoar | B |

The mountains heap | A |
Gaunt pines and crags | C |
That hoar frost shags | C |
And pierced with snags | C |
Like horns of stags | C |
The water lags | C |
The water drags | C |
Where trees like hags | C |
Lean from the steep | A |

Now morning strikes | C |
On wild rampikes | C |
Of forest spikes | C |
And down dim dykes | C |
Of dawn like sheep | A |

Look how they keep | A |
Majestic ward | E |
Gigantic guard | F |
And gaze rock browed | G |
Through mist and cloud | G |
Eternal vast | H |
As ages past | H |
And seem to speak | I |
With peak on peak | I |
Of God and see | C |
Eternity | C |
